We amplify the need for youth to engage in Climate Smart & Conservation Agriculture. This is backed with amazing data from multiple stakeholders including the UNDP that has highlighted the potential for CSCA to create numerous opportunities for empowerment.

Community Engagement

We recognize the need to have the youthful members of the community activated and engaged. Our leveraging of sports and arts as platforms for creating creating conversations that results in action has proven to be very effective.

A Vijana4Vijana Approach

We believe that youth if and when given opportunities to work together in an environment that is progressively enabling, they have the greatest potential to build amazing solutions.
