SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES

To establish a youth FM radio station through partnerships by creation and implementation of the ‘YouthFM HIV/AIDS Awareness project’ to reach the rural youth and facilitate the youth to change the “passive culture” amongst young people by making them learn to secure their existence in the social economical environment in Kenya and play their active role in future leadership. We aims to achieve this by generating increased awareness of the HIV/AIDS pandemic through use of radio, educational materials and development of a network of youth AIDS awareness volunteers’ network in Western Kenya.
To establish and implement sustainable community based eco-tourism enterprises (CBETEs) to supplement limited income among the youth in western Kenya.
