Honored to join the International Youth Day 2025 event in Kakamega, where we kicked off the day by constructing a boda bodaboda shed within the CBD followed by a collaborative tree planting session at Golf Hotel grounds; small actions, big community impact.

As we celebrate the #worldYouthSkilsWaySkillsDay, panel discussion dived into a meaningful conversation on technology. Youth have all at hand to leverage and access to information by being intentional in using platform & AI tools in tech spaces in civic duties.

@risingtogreatn Recommendations
Start with assessments of staff needs and stressors
Incorporate wellness modules in onboarding and continuous training
Form peer support circles.
Build partnerships with mental health professionals or NGOs
Secure funding for regular debriefing therapy sesion
@risingtogreatn Cultural norms and stigma surrounding mental health can significantly hinder help-seeking behaviors among SRHR and GBV service providers. In many cultures, mental health issues are viewed as personal weaknesses or taboo subjects, leading individuals to suppress their struggles..
