The focus is not just on today but on a future where each young person in Mandera can look back and see a trail of achievements, milestones, and successes.
The “Meet the People Tour” is more than an event; it is a manifestation of a social contract between the leaders and the youth. It is a pledge of commitment, support, and partnership. Every discussion held, every initiative launched, and every policy enacted is a brick in the edifice of a prosperous Mandera, where the youth are not just beneficiaries but active contributors.
As the tour unfolds, the narrative is clear – the youth are not just being prepared for the future; they are being empowered to create it.
