YIPAR KENYA

Welcome to Youth In Power Africa Rise(Kenya chapter), a youth-led initiative driving the fight against Public Health Issues and tobacco in Africa.

[YIPAR KENYA @YiparKenya]

📢 Despite bans, 9.5% of Kenyans still see tobacco brand names/logos on clothing.

The tobacco industry's tactics are relentless.

See what young advocates are doing to counter these tactics.

🚭 Day 3 of the #TobaccoControl Champions Masterclass under the #TIIDWI2025 was 🔥!
I had the honor of co-facilitating with @OgwenoStephen_ as we wrapped up this powerful journey.
Here’s what went down 👇

Strategic communications is more than media it’s movement building.
By centering truth, amplifying lived realities & standing as one region, we expose industry lies & safeguard generations.
Narrative change starts with connection.

This year’s #WorldNoTobaccoDay2025 theme, “Protecting Children from Tobacco Industry Interference,” was more than a message it was a demand.
From the streets to the strategy tables, youth voices led the charge.
We marched, we educated, we resisted.

[martha kombe◢◤ @KombeMartha]

It was an honour to stand in solidarity with South African youth in the fight for a tobacco-free continent
As Kenyans, we’ve made strides in tobacco control but this reminded us that our struggle is interconnected.
When our siblings called, we showed up

The Ministry of Health’s alleged alliance with BAT directly contravenes Article 5.3 of the WHO FCTC and the Tobacco Control Act. Health decisions shouldn't be influenced by tobacco interests! #PSMuthoniExplainBATDeal

[The Advocate @MokayaKelvinOb]

The Ministry of Health’s alleged partnership with BAT is a clear violation of Article 5.3 of the WHO FCTC and Kenya’s Tobacco Control Act. Health policy is not for sale!

[The Advocate @MokayaKelvinOb]

Tobacco is a major driver of deadly diseases:
⚠ Fuels cancer deaths
⚠ Drives heart disease fatalities
⚠ Dominates COPD deaths
⚠ Raises diabetes risk sharply

If we don’t fight tobacco, we’re surrendering lives. 🚭

Do you think stronger enforcement of graphic health warnings on tobacco products would help reduce tobacco and Nicotine consumption rates?
