Mentorship Program

At New Life Shelter for Nomadic People of Kenya (NLSNPK), we believe that empowering youth is the foundation of building resilient communities. On January 3rd, 2025, we brought this vision to life by hosting a mentorship program in Hula Hula, Karare Ward, Marsabit County. This initiative united young people from Rendille, Samburu, Borana, and other communities.

A Day of Inspiration and Impact

Our program addressed critical issues facing the youth while equipping them with tools to thrive:

• Career Guidance: Inspiring participants with stories of perseverance and success while offering practical advice for future goals.
• Combating Substance Abuse: Hosting open discussions on the dangers of drug misuse and strategies for resistance.
• Preventing Gender-Based Violence: Promoting respect and advocacy for safer environments.
• Climate Change: Educating participants on sustainability and practical steps to protect the environment.

Sports: Promoting Unity and Inclusion

Sports brought joy and energy to the day. Boys and girls participated in soccer and other games, fostering teamwork, mutual respect, and gender equality across communities.

Reflections and Gratitude

This mentorship program was more than a day of activities; it was a catalyst for change. A special thank you to the mentors and community leaders whose generosity and wisdom made this event possible. We look forward to expanding this program to more communities across Marsabit County.
