#MashujaaDay reminds us that nation-building is a shared responsibility.
We honour Kenya’s heroes and recognise young people advancing peace, justice, accountability & economic opportunity in their communities.
Let us turn our shared values into action.
Happy Mashujaa Day.

Our environment, our responsibility. 🌱
This Mazingira Day, let us turn commitment into action. Grow trees, protect existing forests, manage waste responsibly, and support community-led environmental initiatives.

What will you do today?

Happy World Teachers’ Day!
The world is a better place because teachers exist.

At @ayt_org , we appreciate the teachers who go beyond the classroom to shape informed, confident and empowered young people.

Happy World Teachers’ Day from Africa Youth Trust.

For nations to prosper, young people must be at the center of decisions, not just on the receiving end of them.
African governments must prioritize youth in decision-making.
What would get more young people into leadership? 👇

Digital violence against women and girls includes online harassment, threats, cyberbullying, impersonation, and sharing private information without consent. Creating safer digital spaces requires respect, accountability, and action. What measures would enhance safety online?

Gender-based violence takes many forms and often, survivors are unsure of where to seek help.That’s why our Access to Justice project has established the SMS platform 21094. By simply texting the word "HELP," our dedicated team is always ready to assist.
Let’s say no to violence.

Africa’s young people are a force for peace, equity and prosperity. We harness the productive energies of youth to strengthen communities, advance inclusion, and create opportunities for young people to lead.

Civil society organizations and grassroots actors have officially launched the Kenya Youth Civic Engagement Consortium (KYCEC) following the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU).

On #MadarakaDay, we honor the unity and self-determination that shaped Kenya’s destiny. 🇰🇪

At @ayt_org, we empower young Africans to lead, innovate and own their future. True freedom means every young person has a voice and a seat at the table.
Let’s drive change. With courage.

Eid Al Adha Mubarak from @ayt_org.

Earlier today, we convened the Nairobi County GBV TWG with all sectors at the table. We analyzed rising femicides, reviewed referral pathways which are showing improvement, and reported progress on cases logged via the 21094 SMS platform. Let's keep pathways open.

Yesterday in Mukuru, we held a community baraza on SGBV as part of our Access to Justice & Security Project. We introduced our SMS helpline (21094) for safe reporting. Residents engaged security officials directly. We remain commited in strengthening justice pathways.

This Mother’s Day,we celebrate the mothers, who shape the lives of Africa’s young people every single day. You are the reason our youth show up with hope, resilience, and the courage to dream.
Happy Mother’s Day to the women who build Africa’s future from the ground up.

We concluded the 3~day ELBAG training yesterday.Participants gained civic action skills including, community radio advocacy and memo writing to advance accountability and gender responsive budgeting.
We remain committed to strengthening citizen participation in governance.

Today we trained women in Mukuru on Economic Literacy, Accountability, Budgetary and Governance under our Access to Justice and Security Project.
The training strengthened understanding of public budgets and gender responsive planning.

This Labour Day, we celebrate young Africans fueling the continent’s growth—from developers in Kenya to artists in Nigeria and gig workers in Congo. You are the engine! 👏🏿🌍Thanks to donors, initiatives like #SharedFutures and Access to Justice support youth livelihoods.

“Youth are not just beneficiaries of governance—they are key partners in shaping Africa’s democratic future.”

It’s time to co-lead, not just consult.

Africa has the youngest population, yet young people remain excluded from political transition tables. Not because they aren't active—but because their influence is unrecognized.
Today, @ayt_org Head of Programs @IrmaMaringo spoke at the @AU_ECOSOCC #AFSIT Forum:

Excluding young people from transitional governments risks their legitimacy and durability. The call is for #AFSIT to shift from mere participation to co-creation—institutionalizing youth inclusion, strengthening youth-led CSOs, and measuring influence, not just presence.
