Getting young people in Timor-Leste working is one of the biggest challenges the country currently faces. See how Plan is there to help.

Plan is supporting young women in Timor-Leste to learn hairdressing skills and open salons in their communities.

Young people in Timor-Leste want to work, but finding a job isn't always easy. See how Plan is helping out.

See how Plan is providing training and support to hundreds of young people so they can learn how to provide for themselves and their families.

With help from Plan, a local band is training young people from across Timor-Leste's divided society, teaching them how to make and record music, and helping to break down barriers between communities.

Supported by Plan International, primary school children in rural Timor-Leste give lessons to pre-schoolers ahead of their first days in class, allowing them to practise learning, and helping to lower the drop-out rate.

Health is on the up in this community thanks to the construction of 26 household toilets.

40% of children in Timor-Leste suffer from violence, and most crimes against children are neither addressed nor reported. But Plan is helping the country develop a national child protection system to change this.

Tackling youth unemployment in general is high on Plan's agenda, but the issue is most pressing for young women in the half-island nation.
