Meeting The PS - Ministry of ICT, Innovation and Youth Affairs, State Department For Youths
At the Kencom Building with PS. Julius Korir, we discussed various ways in which we can sustainably develop the informal settlement communities in the country through various program activities done by ETCO.
We focused on the many ways in which we can 1st promote peace and stop substance abuse among the youths and one of the most eminent solutions being to organize for a countrywide Peace Soccer Tournament starting with Lang'ata Constituency, then progress to other informal settlement communities within the country and finally having a National Peace Tournament Finals.
We also discussed other means by which young generation can be empowered through business.
We also appreciate their efforts to ensure that they work closely with dedicated Youth Led Organizations like ETCO - EMPOWER THE COMMUNITY to ensure that the young generation is empowered accordingly.
He also sent his team to visit our office to see and confirm things on the ground. we feel so grateful and privileged to have the government that have a trust in its youths and has its interests at heart.
