By providing comprehensive education and vocational training, Don Bosco Mondo e.V. (until January 2012 operating under the name of "Jugend Dritte Welt e.V.") particularly supports disadvantaged children and adolescents in Africa, Asia, Latin America, and Eastern Europe, enabling them to live independent lives.

Reliable partners in this endeavour are the Salesians of Don Bosco. With over 7,000 children and youth centers in more than 130 countries, Don Bosco provides young people with knowledge, skills, and orientation. The "Don-Bosco Pedagogy" is synonymous for loving care and professional support. It does not only help young people to develop confidence in their own capabilities, but also conveys values as creativity, team spirit, tolerance, and respect.

The new name is meant to emphasise their commitment to this One World and the global responsibility that connects them here in Germany with people across the world.
