The Youth Café appreciates the chance to participate in the consultation with the European Union Delegation To Kenya to provide written input in the project on connecting, engaging and empowering youth in Kenya. Through our Strategic Plan and Theory of Change, we will participate more logically with the youth in Kenya to ensure that the voices of young people are not only heard but also empowered.
