In the month of July, Yunitokers from the Kenya Scouts Association (KSA) visited the Global Hope Rehabilitation and Rescue Center in Ngong town. The Global Hope Rehabilitation and Rescue Center rehabilitates young boys living in poverty and struggling with drug addiction. The team of Yunitokers organized a football tournament in Ngong that concluded with a discussion encouraging young people to register on the Yunitok platform.
Brian Agaziva (24), a Scout and Yunitok champion says, "I believe that youth are change-makers and the likelihood of us listening to one another is higher because we get the opportunity to explore new things and learn by sharing experiences."
Adolescence
is a time of change as children transition to adulthood. During this
transition, young people are more comfortable speaking with their peers rather
than parents or adults. Peer-to-peer engagement allows young people to work
through challenges and explore new concepts and ideas with their peers and learn
from each other fostering meaningful connections.

“I was amazed by the drive those young
people have. As we mingled, they kept asking about how they can benefit from
engagement through the Yunitok platform and mentioning the forthcoming entrepreneurial
training made them really excited.” Says Jefferson Mwadime, a Yunitoker and
Scout.
