Accountability starts with the basics:

1. Know who they are - You can't hold someone accountable if you don’t even know who they are.
2. Know how to reach them - Accountability requires access. Do you know where to find them or how to contact them?

The Power of Youth In Sustainable Development | Updates

$Kiza Kinene tells the story of a group of friends struggling to find jobs in an impoverished urban neighborhood. Desperation leads them into the world of gangs and organized crime, lured by the promise of quick money and respect. As they become entangled in this dangerous lifestyle, they face escalating violence, moral dilemmas, and the fracturing of their relationships. This play is presented by talented thespians that we support through our Kibaraza program during the MnatoSato event. MnatoSato is a collaborative initiative with @maono_space aimed at providing a platform for artists in Malindi to showcase their creative talents.
