Who will be different because you lived?

As we celebrated 20 years of LEPTA, we were reminded that lasting change begins with investing in people.
Thank you to everyone who has believed, mentored, supported and walked this journey with us.

The story continues.

Today we did our first session: an introduction to leadership with our #leads2024 Nairobi class. Emphasis was the need to discover an area they are passionate about that would drive their desire for self development so they can have maximum impact in. #ECSleadership

Simply having knowledge does not lead to great leadership. You need to know how to follow through on it. https://t.co/ygefWICKTY

One important aspect of a leader is that he/she needs to be developed and to be led. Not because of weakness or emptiness but to sustain his/her leadership. We spent the last two days as leaders going through a process that feeds us so we can continue with the work we do.

“Every household within the slum should adopt a flower/plant pot” Micko Migra

This is one of his initiatives to improve the environment.

Founder: HEWA SAFI (Clean Air).
Being born and raised in the slums of Mathare, it's hard to get fresh air because of exposed sewer systems and poor garbage disposal, I became motivated to improve the quality of air in my community.

We are all on a learning journey to unlock our potential so we can transform the world.

Thank you #PEDN for allowing us to be part of the work you are doing to make Uganda enterprising and productive.

[LEPTA @leptatweets]

Community transformation has to be deliberately planned, systemic, and sustained. @steve_kariithi_k and @jkingare spent the day facilitating leadership training for Private Education Development Network (PEDN) leaders and staff

Thank you @JKingare for sharing your story with us! You can catch the full episodes on our YouTube channel. We celebrate your work to nurture young people and provide opportunities for them to pivot and achieve their dreams.

Role models – when it seems like something cannot be done, it is good to have examples of others who have done it. “I will continue being an example and a light, a source, and an anchor for the young people in Mathare and many other parts of the world who need inspiration.”

[Development Dynamics @DevelopDynamics]

Contextualise learning and keep up to date with new skills in the industry. All of the learning sessions held through @Leptacommunity have been tailored to fit the different groups of youth being supported. Training has to meet the needs of youth.

[Development Dynamics @DevelopDynamics]

Moving the #knowledge to #practice – “A lot of people have knowledge, a lot of people have gone to the university and done a lot of research, they have been in board rooms, building documents and policies”. Practising what we have learned makes all the difference.#learnbydoing

[Development Dynamics @DevelopDynamics]

We need to invest more in youth development – many youth programs are often activity based and short lived. But not for @LeptaCommunity. From the onset, Jking designed the program with the goal of achieving long-term impact. We need to invest more to achieve #realimpact.
