Kenyan flags now wrap more coffins than celebrations. Not from war abroad, but from bullets at home. Not heroes fallen in battle, but citizens silenced by the very guns that promised to protect them. This isn’t patriotism. It’s betrayal. 🇰🇪

CHAN2024 Kenya vs Congo, Political ticket hoarding kept a lot genuine fans out, we had empty seats despite "sold out" claims. Leading to lesser vibrant atmosphere and fewer Congolese fans, dimming the match's international vibe.. iyo utoto wacheni. #CHAN2024 #KenyaFootball

Over the previous week, I had the privilege of representing PaaMoja Initiative at a dynamic stakeholders’ program convened by Circles of Hope . Bringing together CSOs and policymakers from across the region for networking, learning, and collaborative dialogue.

We joined Glory Korogocho School for a vibrant Talent & Beauty Exhibition! 98+ learners wowed us with acting, dancing & fashion. Parents cheered, and Good Neighbors Kenya donated books to boost learning! Big up to the young stars who dared to dream!

Celebrating #InternationalYouthDay with the bold, creative young leaders at PaaMoja—turning challenges into action and driving real change in our communities. Youth aren’t just the future they’re leading now. #IYD2025 #SustainableLiving #FollowLearnLead

Key take away from the panelists: 1. As young people we need to make and take opportunities in green spaces. 2. If you have any innovative idea as young person ensure you try and do it, do it scared, do it firmly, do it consistently💪 OAYouth Kenya #YouthClimate #IYD2025

Great to see Canada-Mathare Education Trust sholars in collaboration with human rights advocates, other students and political leaders engaged in youth policy-making process, a shift from traditional top-down governance models in Kenya. This is quit an experience and leaders making.

Young people are shaping the future! On this #InternationalYouthDay, we salute young parents whose love & resilience turn challenges into leadership skills for life. #youngpeople #youngparents #youngmother

In this #InternationalYouthDay2025, I celebrate every young person driving positive change.

"My expectation was to learn how to fight!” shared a participant. Self-defence is about safety, boundaries, awareness, and assertiveness. PaaMoja trained Canada-Mathare Education Trust PSS scholars through interactive plays, empowering them to prevent danger before it strikes. #EndGBV #WezeshaKike

Much appreciation to Canada-Mathare Education Trust and PaaMoja Initiative initiative for conducting a self defence training to all the post secondary scholars. Main highlight is that self defence isn't all about strength or power. Looking forward to such marvellous discussions. #WezeshaKike! #CMETrustAt18

10th August was a game changer! Huge thanks to PaaMoja Initiative for breaking down mental health — stress, anxiety & depression — and showing us self-defence moves that keep us safe. Grateful to Canada-Mathare Education Trust for making it happen. Strong minds, ready bodies! #WezeshaKike

Has we watched the performances we reminded ourselves that every child or individual holds a spark of greatness, and when natured/supported s/he eventually shines no matter their background. #DareToDreamAfrica #HopeInAction #UnlockYourPotential.

1 in 8 live with a mental health condition. With Canada-Mathare Education Trust PSS scholars, we shared openly & built resilience shaking off the dust, stepping forward. #MentalHealthMatters #YouthEmpowerment #YouthEmpowerment #WezeshaKike #SDG4 #SDG5 #CMETrustAt18

At CMD Kenya, we believe that democracy is strengthened when citizens — especially young people — move from dialogue to action 🌍✊. Building on our strong convening power and mandate to deepen multiparty democracy, we hosted a co-creation policy brief writing workshop following

Proud of Dexter, a #CMETrust scholar, for shining at the #NextGen Masterclass 🌟 Thanks to our partnership with The Centre for Multiparty Democracy Kenya, youth are gaining skills in storytelling and advocacy and taking them back to their schools & the #Mathare community. 🚀 #FromWalktoTalk #SDG17 #YouthVoices

What an inspiring masterclass!Thanks to PaaMoja iBase & Vizazi.org for bringing young creators together with Anneloor.Biggest takeaway: films can spark real social change when we tell authentic community stories ! #YouthEmpowerment #SocialChange #FollowLearnLead

Parenting Matters is close to my heart. From self-reflection & observing parents, it's hard work, love, & the parent relationship shaping kids' attributes. How we were raised shapes how we raise them. Adopt positive practices and break negative cycles.

A powerful reminder from Titus "Tito" Kuria through Canada-Mathare Education Trust that true youth empowerment means inclusion and investment. Thank you, Titus, for leading by example and championing a future built with young leaders at the core. 🌍💪 Canada in Kenya, Somalia and Uganda #DemocracyDay
