About Program

Youth led initiatives have gained importance in the Kenyan society by enhancing the involvement of the youth in the development process while utilizing the skills and energies of young people towards making society a better place. The focus of youth led initiatives range in a wide range from rehabilitation to education, from environmental sustainability to economic development, from enterprise development to skills development. Hence the involvement of volunteers offers an opportunity to develop the potential of the youth to help with sustainable development.

The program is designed to respond to Emuhaya youths’ needs and assets; the KCEP Project aims to empower youth to make sound career and life decisions as they transition from high school to the next phase of their lives. The project is also building the capacity of local institutions and networks to sustain the much-needed services that KCEP will provide.
