Empowering Adolescents and Youth in Kenya
Sparking Dreams, Unlocking Potential
Providing life skill education to learners aged 10-19 years in rural Kenya.
School going children in most parts of rural Kenya still struggle with basic life skills education and especially in access to hygiene and sanitation facilities which makes it hard for them to go on with their education.
Together with our supporters and our team of volunteers, we aim to equip them with everything they need to stay in school and thrive.
Adolescents & Youth
Growing up comes with many challenges for young people. At Young Jewels, we recognize these challenges and are dedicated to helping adolescents and youth build essential life, social, health, and economic skills.
Through our programs, we equip young people with the tools they need to make healthy choices, embrace positive lifestyles, gain confidence, and protect themselves from harm.
Mentorship
Young Jewels uses mentorship as a powerful tool to enhance adolescents’ health, learning, and civic engagement while broadening their access to vital information. By understanding local contexts, we collaborate with communities to identify challenges and co-create solutions.
Advocacy
At Young Jewels, we believe in amplifying the voices of communities and advocating for meaningful changes through policy and legislation.
Our advocacy efforts focus on ensuring that decisions made by policymakers, government officials, private sector leaders, and influencers such as journalists and development agencies lead to real, impactful implementation.
Gender Equality and Social Inclusion
At Young Jewels, we believe that everyone – regardless of age or gender – should have equal opportunities to realize their full potential, enjoy their rights, and contribute to society.
Our goal is to ensure that everyone is an equal partner in their home, community, and society.
Research and Impact Learning
Prioritizing research is essential to address strategic and programmatic issues in healthcare, especially in Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH). In humanitarian settings, immediate response often takes precedence over research, but evidence-based interventions remain vital for effective, sustainable solutions.
