Kuza Youth’s Post

Today we celebrate International Youth Day with the theme: Clicks to progress, Youth Digital Pathways for Sustainable Development. This theme is an acknowledgement and reminder of how we can leverage on digital technology to achieve Sustainable Development At Swazuri Events and Kuza Youth , advocating for digital literacy among the youth especially among female entrepreneurs in urban areas and grassroot levels is a key activity we continuously undertake. We understand the importance of using whichever digital platform one has access to, to help in their economic empowerment. By positioning oneself in the accessible platform, our youths are able to advance their knowledge and learn how to boost their businesses, harness their skills, talents and passion by accessing a wider market, engaging with clients therefore increasing their revenue. Thanks to organizations such as YALI Regional Leadership Center East Africa , USAID and Kenyatta University who through their capacity building initiatives such as the Transformation fund, we have been able to scale our work to youths in the grassroot levels within Jomvu, Changamwe and Mvita constituencies. Thanks to partners such as Joseph Makau who spearheads Ajira Digital Program within Jomvu constituency. Through their office we have built the capacity of 270 female entrepreneurs of digital skills for business. This is just the beginning of transforming lives and building communities. Championing for #youthempowerment might be an uphill task but it is the most fulfilling role one can ever do. We celebrate all the youths today. Our time is now. #youthempowerment #internationalyouthday #buildingcommunities #entrepreneurship #entrepreneur
