About me
I'm a male youth aged 27, i come from a place called Kapenguria in northern Kenya. Northern kenya is a very dry and marginalised area. I hail from among a pastoralist community who live on pastoralism. I'm a social entreprenuer since i work with the pastoralist youth to bring positive sustainable social change among this forgotten group of youths in Kenya. I'm currently working as a volunteer programs coordinator at a youth based organization called Pastoralist youth network group. I like working with the youths since they are the future of any community. In northern Kenya youth face several challenges that includes but no limited to; unemployment, insecurity, illiteracy, violation of youth rights, , lack of awareness in HIV/AIDS and lack of access to education, poor leadership that is not youth friendly among others.
