Hi all,
My name is Yvonne Anyango, I am a 32 years old single mother of my boy who I love very much (he is 10 years old), I am Kenyan and have been working with youth empowerment in the slum for 8 years now.
For young people growing up in Korogocho, a sprawling slum community on the outskirts of Nairobi, Kenya, the future can seem hopeless. With most parents unable to pay for their children’s education, many young people are forced to drop out of school. The majority ends up on the streets – begging, stealing, or buying or selling drugs.
To help change the odds for other youth, I have been involved in voluntary activities since the age of 16- first as founder of Cardinal Otunga Orphans and Youth Empowerment Programme, and now as project administrator of Co-operation Arena for Sustainable Development in Africa – Kenya, which focuses on creating a meeting point for universities, schools, youth led organizations, county councils, private sector and the business sectors, to discuss issues affecting them based on economical, ecological, and social perspectives guided by the UN, EU, AU Kenyan government’s work and aims towards a global sustainable development.
My work entails:-
1. Organizing workshops where organizational and activities are developed by the youth, with the basis from and idea that describes a possible organization and activities, possibilities, strategies and ways to implement are discussed.
2. Educational efforts aiming to create knowledge about, above all, Kenyan politics for global development and Kenyan strategy for sustainable development. The educational efforts are also seminars where matters of measures and applications are discussed.
3. Look after and support youth initiatives especially in areas of waste management, greening of the community, planting trees and looking after them.
This is all for now, will avail more information should need be.
Best wishes to you all.
Yvonne
