Since 1985 Restless Development has been a global leader in engaging and supporting young people to address the most urgent issues affecting their lives, communities and countries. 

After 25 years as SPW, we have launched a new name and brand to better capture our youth-led mission and ambitions – Restless Development. If this is news to you, and you want to understand why we changed our name and brand, we’d love to tell you all about our new story. 

Each year, our youth-led programmes reach more than 420,000 young people across Africa and South Asia, and our training and capacity building initiatives support youth-led organisations in more than 30 countries around the world. Our youth-led development approach has been repeatedly cited as a model of best practice by the World Bank, UNAIDS, UNICEF and other international institutions, as well as receiving the 2007 STARS Impact Award and the 2009 AWOL NGO of the Year Award in Sierra Leone.

You can learn all about:

• Who we are, our history and the Restless Development story.
• What we do and how we do it.
• Where we work and how you can get involved.

Or, you can view or download our annual reports for 2009, 2008, 2007, and 2006.
