LETS CONNECT

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? 3. Know what they do - Without understanding their role and responsibilities, how can we evaluate their performance? Now, let's think about our elected leaders. How well do we know them? Do they have a clear, public job description that outlines what they should be doing? If not, how can we possibly hold them accountable? Our ED, @Oliver, explains why the conversation of social accountability should start with these basics.
What does it really take to hold someone accountable?

Malindi Got Talent 2nd Edition | Kibaraza
Young people are transforming the world as we know it—shaping our social interactions, cultures, economies, and politics. We believe the most effective way to achieve sustainable development is by involving young people. You may be wondering, why young people? Here is our Ed's take on it. #PeopleMatter #YOUthMatter
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.

As we celebrate #InternationalYouthDay2024 , we must confront the significant digital divide between rural and urban areas in Kenya. For social media to drive meaningful change, it must be accessible to everyone, everywhere. Development partners must address this issue comprehensively to ensure we #LeaveNoOneBehind in the global shift towards a digital future. Watch our Executive Director share insights on what can be done to ensure young people in rural areas are not left even further behind.

Through our #JuaBudget campaign, we’re simplifying the #Budget2024/2025 into easy to-understand posters for Kenyans to understand. While we appreciate the government's effort in making the budget estimates available, this vital information often doesn’t reach all citizens. Our Campaign Manager @PollyWachira explains it all in this insightful video. Our campaign aims to bridge this gap and encourage active citizenship by ensuring that Kenyans understand how the government plans to spend public funds. This is especially crucial now, as the #FinanceBill2024, detailing how the government will raise its revenue, is a hot topic.
