Impact on Youth
and Communities
Through our programs, we have seen significant positive changes in the lives of young individuals and the communities they serve. Many of our accelerated youth entrepreneurs have gone on to establish successful ventures that are not only profitable but also contribute to solving social issues such as unemployment, poverty, and environmental sustainability. These entrepreneurs are also employing other young people, creating a positive multiplier effect in local economies.
Samsara's Project
Youth Co:Lab
Sub-National Bootcamp 2025
Co-founded in 2017 by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and the Citi Foundation, Youth Co:Lab aims to establish a common agenda for countries across the Asia-Pacific region to empower and invest in young people. This initiative enables youth to accelerate the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through leadership, social innovation, and entrepreneurship.
Since 2017, Youth Co:Lab-supported activities have reached 255,000 participants across Asia and the Pacific. National youth social innovation and entrepreneurship programs have benefited over 15,000 young people and created or strengthened 1,700 youth-led social innovation and entrepreneurship teams.
The Youth Co:Lab Sub-National Bootcamp will be held in six provinces in Indonesia: South Sumatra, West Sulawesi, Central Java, Riau, West Kalimantan, South Sulawesi. Samsara is an official partner of UNDP, supporting the implementation of this program across six provinces by facilitating and coordinating a series of activities effectively.”
