YOUTH EMPOWERMENT STRATEGIES & ADVOCACY

​

1. CHILD PROTECTION

 

We help Children realize their potential and build their futures by enhancing safe space for their upbringing. We nurture children and strengthen communities responsibilities toward Child Protection and Care. We operated under the belief that inherent in every child is the ability to succeed and thrive in life.

 

We do this by partnering with other Children Related organization  with similar aims of enriching and transforming child life among communities across the Pastoralist areas. We develop positive relationships that have a direct and lasting effect on the lives of young people.

 

Under this Sub-program, Our mission is to provide children facing adversity such as Child Abuse, Early Marriage, Child Labour, Child Trafficking and Female Genital Mutilation with strong and professionally support that will enhance their protection.

​

2. YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

 

Through this Program which is the key drivers and shaper of the development of Youth, we endeavor to continue to enrich their lives and life of those around them.

​

Economic empowerment is a key cornerstone of our approach to providing sustainable long-term solutions to marginalized youth, which will truly endure.

 

By helping Youth gain the skills and experience they need to secure economic independence, we are permanently breaking the cycle of dependency that has for so long robbed individuals and communities of the chance to live fulfilling and rewarding lives.

​

We also strive to Mentor and empower the lives of youth and their physical fitness via constantly organizing youth tournaments which also act as a platform for nurturing and developing talents among our youth and promote healthy living.

 

3. ENVIRONMENTAL EDUCATION & NATURE CONSERVATION ​

Since Inception, we had contributed to the development of Youth leaders who are environmentally conscious in the greater Northern region through our wide range of activities.

 

Our youth leadership summits is centered on instilling strong environmental values into our youth and provides a space for them to expand their mind and leadership skills while interacting with new and interesting speakers.

​

We focus on assisting local communities too to adapt to climate change through adaptation and mitigation strategies including climate smart agriculture, renewable energy technologies, efficient household cook-stoves, and alternative livelihoods.

​

4. LIVELIHOOD

We work with communities towards enabling sustainable agriculture production and ensuring that everyone receives sufficient nutritious food – for the long-term. We provide training in nutrition and in sustainable, organic methods of farming, develop community mentors and provide seeds, tools and technical support at the outset.

​

We provide education in the production of high-value nutritious crops, protein supplementation, water saving and improved agriculture techniques. We also support households and the larger community in developing skills and knowledge to improve their nutrition through the establishment of individual and community/group organic kitchen gardens using water saving and improved agricultural techniques to produce a variety of both indigenous and exotic crops.

​

Our training and support programs cover a wide spectrum of farming and nutrition issues.

​

The direct training and long-term approach promotes the cost-effective sharing of skills with thousands of other households who benefit from improved livelihoods through peer learning.
