We were honoured to join student leaders, youth associations, and founders of youth-led organizations from across the Coast at a youth leadership convening hosted by Human Rights Agenda[HURIA]
The conversation brought together young leaders from institutions including Technical University of Mombasa, Mount Kenya University, Bandari Maritime Academy, University of Nairobi Mombasa Campus, Kenya Coast National Polytechnic, Mombasa Youth Assembly, Taita Taveta youth leaders and others.
We reflected honestly on the growing trust gap between young people and the institutions meant to serve them, while sharing experiences, challenges and initiatives from across our counties.
As the Kwale Youth Assembly, we believe meaningful youth leadership must go beyond representation it must create spaces where young people can influence decisions, hold duty bearers accountable and shape the future of our communities.
We appreciate HURIA for creating this platform and for the commitment to ensuring Coast youth have a stronger voice in the decisions shaping 2027 and beyond.
