About us
The project
YouBridge allows you to support students and entrepreneurs
around the world by giving them laptops and access to the world
wide web. Our platform enables students and donors from around the
world to immediately connect and interact with each other.
Who are we
The YouBridge team consists of 6 young Belgians, determined to
make their project work and make a change in
this world:
YouBridge Core Team
Jonas De Cooman
- "My dream was to realise a project that enables you to make the
difference in a contemporary and interactive way. YouBridge allows
you to see what and to whom you give and to get direct feedback
about your donation. In that sense, YouBridge is unique."
Pieter Dewinter
- "With YouBridge we will make a difference in how an NGO works:
attracting people that would otherwise not join a similar project;
direct interaction between the members, and a highly transparent
organization"
Barbara Van Speybroeck
- "It feels great to be part of this team, and see our project
become more important by the day. Not only the goals that we set
for ourselves and that we try to achieve, but also the believe that
what we are doing will truly make a difference in the lives of
different people around the globe."
Kande Kazadi
- "When I joined YouBridge in 2010, I was impressed by how this
great team works as a whole to bridge the gap. As YouBridge's
conversation manager I intend to use all our available new media
channels to spread our message. Together we can make a
difference"
Elise Eeckhout
- "YouBridge helps students in the South in an innovative and
pracical way. When I see the motivation of these students to
realize their dream, I'm very proud to be part of a team trying to
enable those dreams. Furthermore I am having a whole lot of
fun. "
Michel De Wachter
- "The uniqueness of Youbridge.org, is that we service both
parties. We are offering a communication platform to those who are
in need and give transparent, up-to-date feedback to those who are
interested in the cause and/or want to help. The fact that we are
with a young, passionate team believing and proving that few can
make a difference for many, stimulates us to do more and better
every time again. Just image that you know with an absolute
certainty that you are really changing lives with what you do...who
wouldn't be enthousiastic? "
