"Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek." – Barack Obama At GIV, we believe in the transformative power of self-empowerment. Our mission is to empower young refugees and marginalized youth from host communities to unleash their potential and become the change-makers of tomorrow. Through our comprehensive programs, we are equipping these young minds with the skills and resources they need to become social and tech entrepreneurs, and job creators. Every day, we witness the incredible talent and resilience of these young individuals. They are not waiting for someone else to bring change; they are becoming the change. They are innovating, creating, and leading, showing us all that the future is in good hands. Join us in supporting these inspiring young leaders as they pave the way for a brighter, more inclusive future. Together, we can make a difference. Together, we are the change that we seek. #Happy #Madaraka #Day to all #people living in #Kenya, #GIV #Empowerment #YouthLeadership #RefugeeYouth #SocialChange #TechEntrepreneurs #JobCreators

Today, on International Youth Day, I reflect on the transformative power of investing in our #youth. Their energy, creativity, and #resilience are not just inspiring—they are essential for shaping our future. As a leader, parent, and community member, I believe empowering young minds is one of the most critical investments we can make. #YouthEmpowerment is more than just education; it involves providing tools for #innovation, problem-solving, and confident leadership. Supporting #entrepreneurship programs, creating safe spaces for expression, and ensuring access to comprehensive health resources are just a few ways we can help young people realize their potential on this day and every day. The benefits of #InvestingInYouth extend beyond immediate outcomes. They bring fresh perspectives that challenge the status quo and drive societal progress. Their success is our collective success. By nurturing their talents today, we are not just preparing them for tomorrow’s challenges; we are fostering a brighter, more #sustainable future for everyone. I am personally committed to this cause, knowing the impact will resonate for generations to come. #InternationalYouthDay #YouthDay #FutureLeaders
