" I love advocating for social justice and equality to all through the law because I believe everyone deserves a fair shot in this life. I believe that my country people and everyone in the world sometimes faces this challenge. The challenge of unfair treatment in their societies due to maybe gender, age or economic class.
I am excited to be a Millennium Fellow because this program will earn me the skills I need to push my passion further and to cover more ground than I am doing now. I am hoping to interact with other visionary leaders like myself and together we may come up with better solutions to this challenge facing our communities. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: All-Inclusive Safe Space for Youths in Kenya
In Kenya, where there are 47.6 million people, 75% of the population is under 35, according to the results of the 2019 Population and Census. The work force in Kenya, which includes those aged 15 to 64, makes up 57% of the country's overall population, with young people making up 29% of that group. As a result, the majority of young people are jobless, ostracized, and subject to police harassment in addition to being denied access to essential services like healthcare and education. Therefore, this project aims to provide a platform for youth-to-youth sector-specific quality education sharing in order to be able to take advantage of opportunities to improve our overall well-being as youngsters. Our goal is to provide a peer-to-peer support network that helps young people, especially those with disabilities, to develop and pursue their ambitions. The community also aims to give them the chance to connect with and be open with their peers about their weaknesses and difficulties so as to find strength and refuge.
