Is it being invited into a room?
Being given a microphone?
Or being trusted to influence what happens next?
This International Youth Day, we are moving beyond participation to ask what it really means for young people to have voice, influence and leadership.
🎙️ We, bring young people and decision-makers into one conversation on what meaningful engagement should look like.
Because young people don't just want to be heard. They want their voices to matter.

A few days remain before the first series of our political debates.
Informed citizens make stronger democracies. Take this opportunity to engage with your aspiring leaders, understand their vision, and make choices grounded in knowledge—not just promises.
We begin with the MCA Debate for Mabatini Ward.
Your participation matters. Know your leaders. Shape your future.

In the heart of our Youth Led Accelerator Program, we’ve been running dynamic internal financial trainings with the brilliant youth initiatives we’re proud to walk alongside.
What’s truly exciting?
Watching these young changemakers absorb and own the hard-earned lessons we gained through our long-standing partnership with Plan International Kenya under the Safe and Inclusive Cities Project.
From smart budgeting to sustainable resource management, the knowledge is flowing — and the impact is multiplying!
Because when youth lead, communities thrive.�When knowledge is shared, safer and more inclusive cities are built.
