What People Think About Us
I was deeply moved by YEA’s blood donation drive and cleanliness initiative at Temeke Regional Hospital. Not only did they mobilize youth to contribute to a lifesaving cause, but the cleanliness efforts also created a more welcoming environment for patients. It’s inspiring to see young people making such a meaningful difference in healthcare.
YEA’s ‘Binti na Maendeleo’ program taught me about self-confidence, leadership, and financial literacy. I now mentor younger girls in my community, encouraging them to stay in school and dream big. YEA gave me the courage to believe in my potential and pursue my goals
YEA’s celebration of the International Day of People with Disability was empowering. For the first time, I felt seen and heard as a person with a disability. Their commitment to inclusivity and breaking barriers is inspiring, and I hope to see more youth involved in such initiatives.
