The conference began with a critical examination of Kenya’s fiscal accountability challenges, led by key speakers such as Diana Gichengo, Susan Otieno, and Denis Omondi. These discussions highlighted the role of Parliament, citizens, and the Treasury in addressing debt recovery. The Youth Café, committed to empowering the youth with knowledge, engaged actively in these discussions, recognizing the importance of public participation in economic matters.
The Youth Cafe and Africa Check Collaborated for the 'Scam Slam' Campaign, a Comprehensive Media Literacy Campaign
Launched in September 2023, the "Scam Slam" campaign is a testament to The Youth Cafe and Africa Check’s dedication to enhancing public awareness, especially among the youth. We believe equipping our youth with a solid understanding of financial literacy concepts is crucial. "Scam Slam" entails a variety of vital topics - from recognising and establishing one’s financial values, understanding the profound effects of advertising, and providing indispensable financial advice for young adults to shedding light on effective job-search strategies. More importantly, we've focused heavily on empowering individuals with the knowledge to recognise, avoid, and react appropriately to online scams and dubious financial information.
