It Starts With You(th)

Mission

To equip young people in Kenya with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to make informed decisions regarding their financial management, mental health, sexual and reproductive health and drug use.

We aim to break down barriers, challenge stigmas, and promote healthy relationships, ultimately contributing to the overall well-being of the youth

Vision

We envision a future where every young person in Kenya is well-informed and able to make choices that align with their values, and is part of a supportive community that fosters open dialogue.

Through workshops, mentorship sessions, culturally sensitive programmes, and interactive sessions, Youth Educated equips young people with skills and values that will enable them to build healthy relationships.

ABOUT US

OUR PROGRAMMES

Educated Futures Programme

The Educated Futures Programme (EFP) focuses on equipping students with essential life skills through interactive and engaging after-school sessions. We cover key areas that affect the well-being and future of young people, offering a supportive environment where students can learn, grow, and apply new knowledge. Our holistic approach ensures that participants are well-prepared to face the challenges of adulthood.

Brothers Keepers Programme

The Brothers’ Keepers Programme (BKP) is designed to empower and support young men as they navigate the transition from adolescence to adulthood. Recognising the unique challenges and societal expectations that young men face, the programme aims to provide a safe and supportive environment for them to explore issues related to masculinity, mental health, and responsible decision-making.

By promoting a sense of brotherhood and solidarity among participants, the programme aims to create a supportive network that young men can rely on as they navigate the challenges of adulthood.

OUR IMPACT

The program focused on equipping participants with critical decision-making, communication, and problem-solving skills.

The Educated Futures Programme (EFP) at Drumvale Secondary School aimed to address the educational gaps in life skills among youth by offering interactive after-school sessions.

It targeted young people aged 16-19, who represented 80% of participants, ensuring strong engagement at a crucial developmental stage.

Participants showed balanced improvements in the key life skills, with decision-making emerging as the area where 90% reported increased confidence. Majority of participants (58.4%) experienced positive attitudinal changes.

High attendance and participant commitment demonstrated the program’s relevance and effectiveness, though some feedback indicated areas for refining trainer delivery.

Overall, EFP successfully fostered personal growth and promoted healthier behaviours, with ongoing opportunities to improve the program’s impact and reach
