Every journey has a story. Every voice has power.

Today, young women leaders in Kwale County took a moment to reflect on their journeys since participating in Phase I of the Young Women's Voices and Kenya's 2027 Elections initiative.

Through a simple yet powerful exercise, participants described their experiences in one word: powerful, impactful, progressive, inclusive, challenging, and well-oriented.

Behind each word is a story of growth, resilience, leadership, and a commitment to creating positive change within communities.

As we look ahead to the 2027 General Elections, these conversations remind us that meaningful participation begins with confidence, dialogue, and the courage to use one's voice.

Together, we are nurturing a generation of young women leaders ready to shape the future.

📍Happening Now in Kwale County

Young women leaders, community stakeholders, and advocates are gathering for a dialogue on leadership, civic engagement, and women’s political participation as Kenya prepares for the 2027 General Elections.

The conversation is creating space for young women to share experiences, discuss opportunities and challenges in leadership, reflect on digital safety and political participation, and contribute recommendations for a more inclusive democratic future.

Together, we are amplifying young women's voices and strengthening their role in shaping Kenya's future.

Today, Peace Tree Network participated in the Youth Dialogue on Strengthening Youth Leadership and Policy Advocacy in Kenya in Kwale County.

The discussions focused on the African United Nations Youth Delegate Program (AUNYD) national process and Kwale County's contribution to the national youth policy dialogue. Participants also reflected on recommendations emerging from Uasin Gishu County on governance, economic opportunities, peace, and security, while exploring the policy frameworks that shape youth engagement and leadership.

The forum created a valuable space for dialogue between young people, practitioners, and policy actors, enabling participants to share perspectives, identify priorities, and contribute to ongoing national conversations on youth leadership and development.

Peace Tree Network remains committed to supporting meaningful youth participation, peacebuilding, and inclusive policy processes that strengthen communities and create opportunities for young people.

Madaraka is our history. Our responsibility. Our future.

💡 Young women are not only job seekers—they are job creators, innovators, and drivers of economic growth.

I am excited to be attending the Youth Dialogue on Strengthening Youth Leadership and Policy Advocacy in Kenya, where we will explore solutions to youth unemployment, economic inclusion, and opportunities for young people to thrive.

As a young businesswoman from Kwale County, I am passionate about creating spaces where young women can access opportunities, build sustainable enterprises, and contribute meaningfully to their communities and the economy.
