The non-profit organisation Jugend Eine Welt – Don Bosco Aktion Austria[1] was founded at the inaugural meeting on 28 June 1997.

Following a reorganisation in January 2007 it has been called Jugend Eine Welt – Don Bosco Aktion Österreich.

Jugend Eine Welt Austria pursues the objectives of promoting aid to youth both nationally and internationally and sustainable development cooperation.

Jugend Eine Welt Austria was one of the first Austrian organisations to be awarded the stamp of quality for charities, receiving it on 14 November 2001.

A „Street Children‘s Day“ information package is sent to parishes, interested teachers and youth groups at the beginning of January.
