About the Project
Sauti ya Kijana Club Project is a youth-led initiative implemented in schools and communities with the aim of empowering young people through education, environmental conservation, leadership development, and community engagement. The project creates platforms where students and youth can learn about their rights, participate in environmental protection activities, and actively contribute to positive social change.
Throughout the year, Sauti ya Kijana Club Project implemented various activities in schools and community spaces, focusing on child rights education, volunteerism, environmental awareness, and tree planting. These activities were carried out in collaboration with schools, NGOs, government institutions, and local communities.
