While disclosing how long it took for grants to be forthcoming to support the amazing work that ELF-Africa does, #CarenWakoli also shares on hitting rock bottom, the turn-around grant, burn-out, and self-care.

On this episode of #DDWithMaqC, JKing shares his life story, including his childhood memories and how the consciousness of his gifts from an early stage kept him alive in a place where boys his age died from criminal activities.

In 2018, Pauline helped convene the first local industry gathering of alumni professionals from local universities, further cementing her alumni engagement thought leader role.
Before joining Future First, Pauline designed and implemented youth programs for various international organizations, including ActionAid International, MS Denmark, the World Bank Institute, World Youth Alliance, Ashoka Youth Venture Program, and British Council's Global Changemakers.

Here’s how Dr. Katindi envisioned and worked on the legacy-defining Kenya Youth Scenarios (KEYS) back in 2010. She first conceived of the Kenya Youth Scenarios project to help Kenyans constructively deal with the impending youth bulge. The idea was to help each region within Kenya create their own scenarios about the future of youth in Kenya. From these scenarios, the hope was that not only will regular Kenyans—as I can say they have already begun to do—have a more nuanced conversation about youth issues, but so will the Kenyan government.
