The social problems that affect urban and rural populations alike are not limited to developing countries. Illiteracy, elevated school drop-out rates, delinquency, unemployment and poverty are issues that face countries around the world, both in the East and the West. The youth of any society represent its future. Unfortunately, a large number do not have access to the necessary tools to help them reach their full potential. Some fall into delinquency or live in poverty; others do not have access to adequate education. By focusing on our young people, some ARCHITECTS OF CHANGE are working to ensure a better future. Featured:
1. Sébastien Marot (Mith Samlanh, Cambodia) provide education for homeless children leading to productivity and independence. 2.

Bunker Roy and Ran Karam (Barefoot College, India) teaching literacy and skills in rural communities and providing basic services: solar energy, water, health care, rural handicrafts, etc.; encouraging learning-by-doing. )
