ABOUT AND IMPACT
Young changemakers have a crucial role to play in
the implementation of the SDGs. Therefore, the BKMC
encourages and trains young global citizens all over
the globe to undertake SDG Micro-Projects in their
local communities. BKMC fellows, scholars, and
mentees are encouraged to identify a real-world
challenge, work on solutions, and venture out to make
a change with targeted actions for the SDGs that
reach a wide network of people. With these projects,
the young leaders address a specific societal challenge
that needs to be transformed into an opportunity.
Everyone in the BKMC network shares the conviction
that small actions, taken by each person, can move
mountains and can ultimately play a crucial role in
achieving the SDGs. This conviction is integrated into
various BKMC programs to equip young and dedicated
individuals with the skills, knowledge, and
network they need to become agents of change for
the achievement of the SDGs.
By December 2023, the BKMC has successfully guided
approximately 360 young leaders to develop around
240 SDG Micro-Projects, reaching more than 800,000
beneficiaries on the ground..
For the success of the young leaders, the BKMC
offers guidance and mentorship from initial ideation
to the final steps of project implementation and
guidance in scaling the success and impact of their
SDG Micro-Projects.
Regional Distribution of the SDG
Micro-Projects around the Globe
SDG Micro-Projects can be implemented in one or
many locations. While some tackle local community
issues, some go beyond borders and regions to
propose solutions for the globe. The BKMC aims
to reach young leaders all around the world;
therefore, it conducts programs targeting different
areas of the world. The pie chart showcases the
