YOUNG LIVES:

Young Lives is an international research project on childhood poverty that was established in 2000 and is coordinated by a team based at the University of Oxford's Department of International Development iGreat Britain.Young Lives, by its declaration, is tracing the changing lives of 12,000 children in Ethiopia, India, Peru and Vietnam over a. Through interviews, group work and case studies with the children, their parents, teachers, community representatives and others, the project is collecting an information about their perspectives on their lives and aspirations for the futures, set against the environmental and social realities of their communities.

These groups provide insights into every phase of childhood. The younger children are being tracked from infancy to their mid-teens and the older children through into adulthood, when some will become parents themselves. When this is matched with information gathered about their parents, it is possible to reveal much about the inter-generational transmission of poverty, how families on the margins move in and out of poverty, and the policies that can make a real difference to their lives.

The research concentrates on 4 countries: Ethiopia, India (Andhra Pradesh), Peru and Vietnam, chosen because they reflect a wide range of cultural, political, geographical and social contexts.

“RE-NEW”

Re-New is engaged in buying and selling second-hand products, covering a wide range of items. The team consists of specialists in each product family in order to give the best answers t o the needs of our customers.

Re-New is destined to protect the environment. The name expresses the wishes to give a second life to products that are no longer used; this is one of the most effective ways to avoid unnecessary production of new items, spend energy and recycled materials in products that we don’t use.

Re-New don’t recycle items, they reused them, because that product that used to be useless by someone, may be new to others.
