Capacity Building Training for Youth Organizations:

This sought to offer an opportunity for young leaders to demonstrate their unique strategy in running their organizations, empower, share and reflect on the challenges of this generation. Specifically the project aimed to strengthen the National Youth Movement through learning best practices for action and developing relevant skills for use in their organizations in Reconciling & Recreating Kenya.
