SUSTAINABLE TRANSFORMATIVE EDUCATION PROGRAM

Over the past 6 years, the organization has successfully greatly impacted

the Kenyan communities, particularly the youths living in Eastleigh and

North Eastern Kenya. Eastleighwood uses informative and artistic

initiatives to mentor and guide youths to maintain peace in the society.

Since its founding year, the number of beneficiaries has risen from 200

youths to 3,000 youths who are under mentorship and internship programs.

The organization has so far trained 480 youths through its Resource Center

Vocational and the Kenya Transition Initiative Role Model” training

programs and these beneficiaries have shown a positive development move in

their lives. 50 youths were equipped with fashion and modeling skills, 50

youths trained as movie actors and script writers, 200 with basic computer

skills, 30 trained by USAID Kenya Transition Initiative as ‘Role Models’

and 150 benefiting from entrepreneurship mentorship program. More than

15,000 youths were reached with peace messages during the most successful

“youth for peace” 1 year project implemented in Eastleigh through

interactive peace forums, a monthly Newsletter release and youth camping

Radio Show Program, which consequently helped to minimize criminal

violence in Eastleigh.

The organization also has supported talented actors to produce educative

materials to promote peaceful coexistence and cohesion among people from

different religious and social-cultural backgrounds such as “The East and

West Documentary”, a reflective movie “Mistaken” and many short

entertainment video clips.

Currently we are working on a program tabbed ‘’Tubongemtaani” which brings

together youth from kamukunji and neighboring Starehe Sub-County aimed at

building peaceful coexistence among the communities.
