YOUNG MENTORS KENYA

Education plays an important role in shaping peoples’ career and empowers the young people to improve their well being and participate in nation building. The government has taken all measures to make sure every young person in the county gets education by introducing free education for both primary and secondary schools.

recent research has shown that despite all these effortsmade by the government to educate the young people the number of primary and secondary school drop out in the county is increasing. Majority of those who remain in schools are faced with low self-esteem and self-drive, no motivation leading to poor academic performance.

 

Form four leavers stay in villages with no clear plan on what to do next to better their future.
The youth make up to 60% of the county's population and its worrying that majority  are jobless(unemployed) and due to lack of hope for the future they find themselves in drug abuse and other unproductive activities
