YAKHA IKUSASA MANJE HEALTH DEVELOPMENT CENTRE
Youth Day | 16 June 2026
Today, we honour the courage, resilience, and sacrifice of the youth of 16 June 1976, whose bravery paved the way for the freedoms and opportunities we enjoy today. Their legacy reminds us that young people have the power to transform communities and shape a better future.
Guided by our vision of taking care and giving back, Yakha Ikusasa Manje Health Development Centre remains committed to transforming lives through health, education, and economic empowerment. We continue to create safe and inclusive spaces, address Gender-Based Violence and Femicide (GBVF), and challenge the stigma that prevents individuals from reaching their full potential.
As we celebrate Youth Day, let us uphold our values of respect, transparency, innovation, and the courage to do what is right for our communities. Let us empower young people to become leaders, advocates for justice, and agents of positive change.
"We have always carried each other when the moment demands, thank you to the Heroes of June 16, 1976. We shall forever be indebted to you."
May the spirit of the youth of 1976 inspire us to stand against injustice, promote equality, reject stigma and discrimination, and work together to build healthier, safer, and more empowered communities.
Happy Youth Day!
Together, let us take care, give back, and build the future our youth deserve.
