📍 #WorldEnvironmentDay2026 Inspired by Nature. For Climate. For Our Future. Today, Youth for Integrity Building (YIB) proudly joined fellow civil society organizations, private sector actors, @KilifiCountyGov led by @KilifiDECCF_ke, community members, and other environmental stakeholders at @PU_Kilifi to plant 5,000 tree seedlings in support of environmental conservation and climate action. At YIB, we believe that integrity extends beyond governance and accountability, it also includes how we care for our environment and steward natural resources for future generations. Environmental justice is social justice. As climate challenges continue to affect communities, collective action remains one of our most powerful tools. Thus, bringing together community members, institutions, and partners, supports the contribution to a greener, more resilient, and sustainable future for Kilifi and beyond. Our deepest gratitude to all the stakeholders, partners, and local volunteers who picked up a shovel today. Every tree planted today represents hope, action, commitment, an investment to a greener future for Kilifi and beyond. @SDGaction; @SDGActionZone; @wateraidnl; #NowForClimate #YIB #PwaniUniversity #SustainableDevelopment #SDG13 #SDG15 #KilifiGreenRising

📍🧭 Day 2 of the I-Lead Program Phase 2 marked a powerful culmination of learning, leadership, and action. The day began with an engaging session on Leadership & Ethics facilitated by Mr. Gérard Saleh Bitendelo, where fellows reflected on the values, responsibilities, and character required to lead with integrity in today’s complex world. Through thought-provoking discussions and practical examples, participants explored ethical leadership, accountability, decision-making, and the importance of aligning personal values with public action. The session challenged fellows to think beyond positions and titles, and instead reflect on the kind of leaders they aspire to become and the legacy they hope to leave behind. The energy then shifted to the much-anticipated pitching session, where fellows presented innovative ideas and community-centered solutions designed to advance integrity, accountability, and social justice. From individual presentations to collaborative group pitches, participants demonstrated creativity, critical thinking, confidence, and a deep commitment to solving real-world challenges within their communities. What stood out most was not only the quality of the ideas presented, but the courage to share them, defend them, and receive feedback with openness and professionalism. Because leadership is not simply about identifying problems. It is about having the courage to imagine solutions and the conviction to act on them. Special appreciation to the Youth Empowerment Fund by @gymobilization, and the @EU_Partnerships, for investing in young leaders and creating opportunities for youth-led innovation and transformation. #ILeadProgram #LeadershipAndEthics #PitchForImpact #YouthLeadership #IntegrityInAction #FromIdeasToImpact

📍As the world marks World Menstrual Hygiene Day 2026 on May 28, under the theme #TogetherForAPeriodFriendlyWorld, Youth4 Integrity Building is proud to join the Kilifi County Government, partners, and fellow CSOs in creating spaces for dignity, awareness, inclusion, and honest conversations around menstrual health and well-being.

This is why we invite you to join us for three impactful engagements as we raise awareness, build solidarity, and promote dignity for all: 📌 27th May 2026 – Virtual Webinar 🕣 8:30 PM EAT Featuring inspiring speakers from across Africa discussing menstrual health, dignity, inclusion, advocacy, and creating a #PeriodFriendlyWorld. 📌 Menstrual Hygiene Day Peace Walk 🚶 From Kibaoni to Kibarani School for the Deaf 🕑 2:00 PM – 5:00 PM EAT Followed by dignity kit distribution and a mentorship session. 📌 Bonfire Open Dialogue 📍 Kilifi Scout Center 🕡 6:30 PM – 11:00 PM An honest and safe conversation space where young people and community members can engage openly on periods, stigma, health, inclusion, and dignity.

Build with us. @KilifiCountyGov; @KilifiGender; @Youthsports003; #MenstrualHygieneDay2026 #PeriodFriendlyWorld #MenstrualHealthMatters #EndPeriodStigma #YouthForIntegrityBuilding #KilifiCounty #DignityForAll

📍What does it mean for young people to remain relevant, resilient, and included in the age of AI? On Friday 22nd May 2026, we convened over 50 young people, practitioners, mentors, and thought leaders for a timely and reflective conversation through our youth webinar: 🎯 AI, Power & You: Who Wins in the Future of Work? At a time when Artificial Intelligence is rapidly reshaping industries, communication, education, governance, creativity, and access to opportunities, this session created space not only to discuss technology itself, but also the deeper social, ethical, and human questions surrounding the AI shift. Together, we explored conversations around: a) AI literacy and digital inclusion b) The future of work and workforce transformation c) Ethical and responsible AI adoption d) Misinformation, media integrity, and digital responsibility d) Emotional resilience and navigating uncertainty in changing times e) Ensuring marginalized communities are not excluded from emerging opportunities One of the strongest reflections from the session was the reminder that conversations about AI cannot only focus on innovation and productivity. They must also address power, inequality, access, ethics, accountability, and the responsibility young people have in shaping the future rather than simply reacting to it. We are deeply grateful to our distinguished speakers: Dr. Nancy Kwangwa, Ms. Maria Ilieva, and Mr. Benson Furaha Mwandoro. Your insights, lived experiences, and thoughtful reflections brought depth, balance, and global perspective to this important conversation. Special appreciation also goes to the YIB team, our partners, collaborators, @KilifiCountyGov, Leading Well Network, and fellow Kilifi County CSOs including but not limited to @TuunganeK; @Timiza_CC; @CboCharity9365; @hope2shine; @YmcaKilifi; @YoungLife; @Youthsports003; @KilifiGender; etc and all participants whose engagement made the session thoughtful, and meaningful. As @ForIntegrityOrg, we remain committed to fostering informed, ethical, and inclusive conversations around technology, governance, digital transformation, and youth empowerment. Because ultimately, the future is not something young people should simply wait for. It is something we must understand, question, and actively help shape. #AI #FutureOfWork #YouthEmpowerment #DigitalLiteracy #Innovation

📍Even before the sessions officially begin, the energy in the room is always something special. Sometimes the learning starts long before the first presentation or discussion, because connection is often the first step toward impact. Through laughter, games, and simple moments of interaction, young people were already building confidence, community, and meaningful connections. Impactful youth engagement is not only about what happens during training sessions, but also about creating spaces where young people feel welcomed, valued, and comfortable being themselves. Because safe and engaging environments matter just as much as the conversations we hold within them. #YouthEngagement #YouthEmpowerment #YouthLeadership #CommunityBuilding #SafeSpaces #YoungPeople #MeaningfulEngagement #LearningSpaces #YouthDevelopment #LeadershipJourney

📍AI, Power & You: Who Wins in the Future of Work? 🎯 As the world continues to navigate rapid technological and social transformation, conversations about Artificial Intelligence must also remain grounded in leadership, human connection, community, and the empowerment of young people. We are pleased to feature Ms. Maria Ilieva as one of the speakers for this upcoming youth webinar. Ms. Maria is a passionate advocate for education, youth empowerment, and community development with extensive experience in the NGO sector.

At a time when many young people are facing uncertainty about the future of work, technological disruption, and the pressure to constantly adapt, Maria’s perspective brings an important reminder that resilience, empathy, leadership, and human connection remain just as essential as technical skills. Her contribution to this conversation will help us reflect on: ✔ leadership in a changing world ✔ adaptability and emotional resilience ✔ youth empowerment and mentorship ✔ and the importance of creating supportive spaces for young people to thrive As AI continues to reshape societies globally, conversations like these are not only about technology, they are also about people, dignity, opportunity, and the kind of future we want to build together.

📍AI, Power & You: Who Wins in the Future of Work? 🎯 As conversations around Artificial Intelligence continue to shape the future of work, governance, education, and digital participation globally, it is important that young people engage with voices that not only understand technology but also understand its impact on people, communities, and access to opportunity.

In a time where AI is rapidly transforming societies, Dr. Kwangwa’s perspective reminds us that conversations about technology must also be conversations about: ✔ equity ✔ ethics ✔ access ✔ responsibility ✔ and inclusion Join us tomorrow as we explore how young people can move beyond simply consuming technology to meaningfully understanding and shaping the future. 🗓 May 22, 2026 ⏰ 3:00 PM – 5:00 PM (EAT) 📍 Zoom 🔗 Register here: us06web.zoom.us/meeting/regi… @KilifiCountyGov; International Leading Well Network; @Youthsports003; @TuunganeK; @KenyaScouts-Kilifi; @CboCharity9365; @Timiza_CC; @KilifiYmca ; @hope2shine;@YoungLife; etc #AI #DigitalInclusion #YouthEmpowerment #FutureOfWork #Innovation #AILiteracy

📍Great ideas only create impact when people understand, believe in, and connect with them. During our session on Effective Ideation, Communication & Advocacy facilitated by Mr. Festus Kazungu, fellows explored how ideas are developed, communicated, and transformed into meaningful action. The session challenged participants to think beyond conventional approaches by exploring practical ideation and problem-solving strategies such as brainstorming, SWOT analysis, and the SCAMPER technique, encouraging young leaders to think critically, creatively, and outside the box when designing solutions for integrity and social justice challenges. Fellows also engaged in conversations around effective communication, advocacy tools, storytelling, public speaking, strategic messaging, and the role of communication in influencing perceptions, mobilizing communities, and driving change. They also reflected on how youth voices can influence conversations, challenge systems, and inspire change within communities. One key reflection from the session was clear: Having a good idea is important, but knowing how to communicate, advocate for, and position that idea effectively is what gives it the power to create real impact.
