• We have conducted more clean up exercises every month and also helped in planting trees in some schools which the community has appreciated our efforts and they have also offered their help in terms of helping in the clean up exercises.
• Community outreach using theater has been another achievement especially in the field of HIV and AIDS and Violence. The youths have been keen in ensuring that the communities live in peace and also show care to all despite the situation one is in Over 20 awareness campaigns have been conducted targeting all the villages in kibera.
• The organization has also been able to train 60 youths in peer education and mostly reproductive health and HIV and AIDS as well as the alternative to violence. We have seen youths using this knowledge in empowering the community.
• The organization has also been able to create peer education clubs in six schools (three primary and three secondary school) whereby our youth practice their peer education skills and also help in mentoring the youths in schools and in the community.
• Talent show has been another achievement where by we have been able to host other youths and brought in mind the identification of talents in soccer, skit, poetry, dances and narrative. This has led to a number of the youths to be given opportunity in composing music where by we have two who have recorded their songs and are selling the C.Ds

The organization has also being able to network with different youth’s group and organizations that has made a great impact on the youths lives. This has made the organization to grow in many ways such as most of the youths have been able to interact with their fellow youths from other organizations and groups.                                                           

 

OUR CHALLENGES:

• One of the greatest challenge we face as an organization is lack of adequate funds to carry out our activities as planned in our work plan. As an organization we are struggling to raise funds by seeking for funds and also from little contribution from members on weekly bases.

• Most of the organization’s members are still students, so most of their time they spend in school than in the organization, thereby the organization can not conduct some activities in the week.
• Another challenge in the organization is the issue of gender. The organization has fewer females as compared to the males. As an organization we believe that for   any organization to succeed there must be gender sensitivity in that organization. From the late research we conducted we discovered that this is in almost all the organizations and the cause is poor communication and relation between the parent/guardian and this girl since the parents believe that their children are going to be in bad company and might even get pregnant. We are trying to mobilize girls by having a door to door visit to our member so as to establish good relationship with the parents so as for them to know where or who their children are with.

• Majority of the youths have been seeking for opportunity to have more trainings on different issues but because of inadequate resources it has been hard to reach them.

• Youths have always thought of having computer lessons though we try with the two we have it has always been a challenge because they are many and the computers are only two.

• For sustainability and well being of the organization the youths are working on art and bead work but the challenge is that finding market has been a problem.
