BodaBoda youths play a crucial role in contributing to conflict prevention, peace building and inform contributions to security and stability of our communities. BodaBoda youths response to peace-building efforts has been crucial in the form of their roles and contributions.

Other keynote speakers were from insurance sector and Youth-fund department. The interactions between the BodaBoda youths and the leaders was great with a number of key resolutions being generated. The highlight of the day was that, security plays a key role in development of an area and we all have a role to play as rights come with responsibility.

The use of Art has helped raise awareness about Reproductive health among young people across the globe. It is evidently that, when young people are engaged through the use of ART, they are empowered to breaking barriers and bring about social change.This has eased disseminating of information and raising awareness about adolescent sexual reproductive health rights and HIV prevention. In partnership with I Choose Life - Africa and through the support Women Deliver we conducted an adolescent and young people artistic engagement event in Changamwe Sub-county. The main objective of the event was marking an ambitious stepping stone towards a future generation of adolescents and young people making informed choices and playing a leading role in their own sexual reproductive health.

For centuries, menstruation has been a hidden topic, dealt with in silence, rarely spoken about as well as a topic of shame and embarrassment. Our Girls are not only feeling unsafe in schools, on the streets and online, but their education, career choices and ability to be heard are also being negatively impacted. Its high time the government put structures to curb this menace.
