Young people are the foundation of a brighter, more equitable future and amplifying their voices is essential to addressing societal challenges and creating sustainable solutions to issues like child marriage, teenage pregnancy and climate change. When young people are empowered to share their perspectives, they become key players in shaping the policies and practices that affect their lives.
Through our initiatives like #TeensWithMentors, school clubs, organising summits, digital spaces and community dialogues, we equip young people with leadership skills, public speaking skills, building their self-confidence and self-esteem among others. These platforms help young people to speak out and address their concerns to the people responsible, they engage with decision makers and influence change. We encourage young people to share their life experiences and success stories with fellow young people, it can be through blogs, poems, speeches or social media to inspire change.
Through collaborations and partnerships with CSOs, government line ministries and community leaders, we design events that directly call for youth participation. We believe that there is nothing for young people without young people involved, young people serve as role models and mentors to fellow youth, and this inspires other young people. Therefore, by engaging youth in such programs, we give them a platform to address their pressing concerns like gender equality, education, poverty, early marriage and climate change. By actively listening to young people and incorporating their insights, policymakers can develop inclusive and effective solutions.
The voices of young people are a powerful force for change and amplifying their voices does not only benefit young people but the community. This helps promotes innovation, breaks down harmful stereotypes and builds a culture of inclusion. Empowered youth drive progress, ensuring that future generations inherit a world where everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
