Rising Winners Youth Empowerment Initiative

In our engagement with peers, myths and misconceptions are often shared. What would you do?

We the @risingwinners joined our peer #HerVoiceFund grantee Angaza Youth Initiative in the launch of their Accelerating Health Advocacy through AGYW Engagement project.

On 12th and 13th April, Rising Winners Youth Empowerment Initiative participated in County Accelerator Dialogues, held by the Zero Malaria Campaign Coalition (ZMCC) aiming at fostering multi sectoral partnerships to amplify the work of the malaria community, increasing awareness about Malaria. The ZMCC will particularly focus on bringing together diverse partners from across the private, media and creative sectors; talent and influencers; all alongside the malaria community, to create communications that shape public perception of malaria as a deadly disease, yet a disease that is preventable and treatable and most importantly that can be eradicated. The ZMCC will be the engine that unites partners to power sustainable malaria campaigns across the country, delivering transformational public awareness, and inspiring political action. Let's join hands to end Malaria in Kenya.

Rising Winners Youth Empowerment Initiative today participated in the LVCT Health launch of @one2oneKE #DigitalHub - Mombasa that will offer a variety of services, including credible information on SRH, GBV, and mental health, online counseling services, referral services, a virtual community to connect with peers and training and mentorship in Mombasa. Although we are in Kilifi County we joined it for us to be part of this innovation and connect to it so that we can link young people across the Coast region we reach to access this platform. Let's use this important resource young people family and parents for healthy empowered adolescents and young people.

Adolescent Girls and Young Women still need to be ethically and meaningfully engaged for equal partnership in addressing socio-economic-cultural issues in our communities.

Young people especially adolescent girls-young women should be empowered to analyse complex socio-economic-cultural issues associated with the decision-making processes and systems in the Communities to address #SGBV in our Communities, Kilifi County.
