Youth built resource center for violent extremism de-radicalization, rehabilitation and reintegration.
Thank you James for your commendation, this will be the second CVE program In the coast of Kenya to deal with both preventive and rebilitation.
We will be borrowing from what has worked in other places and opportunities in those that did not work. The resource centre will welcome all youths and tailor the different interventions to their needs with a bias towards CVE.
The centeÅ™ will partner with the County government in vocational training, which has worked well in a previous project I worked on.
There will be counselling, vocational training and production, sports activities, talent management, recreational activities, mentorship.
We already have a database of employers we have worked with before and we will be engaging more, including microfinance companies.
We will also be working with the County youth parliament forum.
This will be the only fully functional, state of the art Youth Resource center in the coastal region. To be used for various activities that enhance learning, innovation and collaboration. A safe haven for vulnerable youths in the coastal region of Kenya.
