On Wednesday 21 January 2026, UNICEF Luxembourg announced it will receive support from digital asset exchange platform BitMart for its Passport to Earning youth skilling initiative.

Passport to Earning (P2E) is a youth skilling initiative of UNICEF’s Generation Unlimited programme and is focused on empowering young people in Brazil. According to UNICEF Luxembourg, the contribution from BitMart will help to strengthen Passport to Earning activities, with a specific focus on financial literacy, enabling young people aged fifteen to 24 to develop essential skills to better understand, manage and plan their financial futures.

Passport to Earning is designed to bridge the gap between learning and earning by providing young people with free, in-demand and industry-recognised skills. The programme combines digital learning with local support and recognised certifications, helping young people transition into employment, entrepreneurship or further education. It integrates emerging technologies, including artificial intelligence, across its learning pathways to help young people build skills for the future that are increasingly demanded by employers while remaining accessible and relevant to local labour market needs.

UNICEF Luxembourg said: “In a rapidly evolving economic environment, financial literacy is a critical foundation for employability, entrepreneurship and long-term economic inclusion.” 

“Investing in financial literacy and digital skills is investing in young people’s independence and resilience,” said Sandra Visscher, Executive Director of UNICEF Luxembourg. She added: “By supporting Passport to Earning, this partnership helps young people in Brazil develop practical, future-ready skills that reflect the realities of an increasingly digital and technology-driven economy.”

“Access to financial knowledge is a key driver of long-term opportunity,” said Nenter Chow, Global CEO of BitMart. “We’re proud to support UNICEF Luxembourg and Generation Unlimited in helping young people build practical, future-ready skills.”

Generation Unlimited is a global initiative led by UNICEF that brings together governments, the private sector, civil society and young people themselves to expand education, training and employment opportunities for youth aged ten to 24. Its goal is to ensure that every young person can successfully transition from learning to earning and actively participate in the economy and society.
