Veronica Cho

South Africa

I'm driven by the belief that investing and believing in the world’s most under-resourced youth is the single most important step we can take to finding and implementing lasting, sustainable solutions to the greatest problems of the 21st century. We create a more just, peaceful, and compassionate world for future generations when we work hand in hand with the most exploited, vulnerable, and unheard members of our society to break the cycle of poverty once and for all.

I'm committed to providing opportunities for youth in poverty to gain political influence and contribute to the economic growth of their communities. My mission is to unleash the incredible potential young people have of transforming societies and affecting positive change.
