Dear friends,

Our sisters and brothers in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa, Pakistan are facing one of the worst floods in recent years. The devastation is heartbreaking, and currently:

• 350 lives have been lost
• 5,000 people are injured
• 500 people are missing
• 2,000 families without homes

The Young Christian Workers (YCW) of Pakistan have launched a Relief Action Plan to provide food, medicines, hygiene kits, and safe drinking water to 50 affected families for one month. They are doing all they can, on the ground. But they need our help:

Your support can bring life-saving relief and restore dignity & hope to families who have lost more than everything.

Please stand in solidarity with us, with them and with humanity. Every contribution—big or small—will make a difference.

With Love & Solidarity,
IYCW Team

August 25, 2025 marks a new milestone in the centenary celebrations of the YCW. This date holds special significance for the International YCW, as on August 25, 1957, the movement organized a historic global gathering in Rome. On St. Peter’s Square, more than 32,000 young workers from all over the world came together with Pope Pius XII, with Cardijn, Church authorities, and over 10,000 invited guests to reaffirm and consolidate the YCW as an international movement of young workers.

Geneva, June 2025 — At the 113th Session of the International Labour Conference (ILC), the International Young Christian Workers (IYCW) brought the lived realities of young informal workers to the global stage. The movement participated in both the plenary sessions and the Workers’ Group Commission of the Committee on “Innovative approaches to addressing informality and promoting the transition to formality for decent work.”
