MAINSTREAMING MILLENIUM DEVELOPMENT GOALS

Online with achieving the millennium development Goal 6:Combat HIV/AIDS, Malaria and other diseases we have focused on reaching out to both infected and affected youths in our community by forming support groups for young people living with HIV/AIDS to have interactive group therapy by sharing problems, holding peer education reach outs to young on advocacy and behavior change programmes
All these will not be possible if we are not networking with other youths groups (KUMEKUCHA SELF HELP GROUP, JERICHO ARISE SELFHELP GROUP,OAKLAND YOUTH SELFHELP GROUP, FAMILY ROCK, MILES AHEAD etc), development partners (UN HABITAT), Government offices (MINISTRY OF YOUTH, MINISTRY OF TRANSPORT) and stakeholders (KYBT) in our community in our community in essence to capacity building, sharing information, ideas and reaching out to tap resources back to the community to enrich us economically and building our capacity. This is online to achieving both Goal 1: Eradicate Extreme Hunger and Poverty and Goal 8: Develop a Global Partnership for Development.
It has not been easy its challenging and since we all know that youth is a transitional stage and we wish to show a good example to our young followers and also our siblings its has been taxing but with determination and pressing on we are committed to aspire and engage the systems in doing all right at our capacity. The network of groups also do undertake income generating activities like drama, cultural dances, organizing environmental clean up day and educating the members of the community the importance of preserving our environment online with Goal 7:Ensure Environmental Sustainability this has been online with Goal 3:Promote Gender Equality and Empower Women by advocating for equity amongst us in all activities that we undertake in the community, ensuring that especially the rights of women, children and youths are put at the fore front in all our activities. As we know to educate a man is to educate a country while to educate a woman is to educate the nation.
