Today, we honor the brave men and women who stood firm against tyranny to ensure our freedom.

The Patriots Day, teaches us that no obstacle is too great when a generation is united by a clear vision. At EYPD, we believe the best way to honor our patriots is by being โ€œarchitects of progressโ€.

We are deeply saddened to hear of the passing of Mukoma Regis Mtutu. He was a dedicated advocate for justice and gender equality, leaving behind a legacy that will continue to inspire us all. Our heartfelt condolences go out to his family and friends.

Rest in peace.

On April 19th, we organized a Dialogue Facilitation Training for selected Gender Club Leaders from Yeka Abado and Meri Hidassie Primary evening schools at the Azzeman Hotel.

This capacity-building session focused on addressing unpaid and underpaid care and domestic work, while sharpening the facilitation skills necessary to lead dialogues within the newly established gender clubs for evening students.
