We are group of young people who focus on 4 different aspects to create awareness and offer support. This is through:
- Use of art - majorly filming and photography where we train practioners in campuses on ways they can use their skills and equipments to create informative content.
- Use of sports - in this case our main target areas include cycling, zumba and swimming. Where we organise challenges that help people easen their thoughts and engage.
- High school forums - Starting May we will be doin highschool forums through the guidance and counseling department , this is through partnership with kuppet, where we will create support groups inside the school. This will help tackle the increase of bullying and drug abuse cases in schools.
- Community Outreaches - We partner with CBOs and self help groups and do forums in the communities. Majorly we have done this through the help of local chiefs and churches.
All of the following activities are carried out in collaboration with Meru Doctors Plaza, a hospital in Meru that provides phy-social support at subsidized rates thereafter and for free during our events.
