PROJECT INFLUENCE is initiative organised by Kikaaya Youth Empowerement Group- KYEG aimed at engaging adolescents and youth in secondary schools, in dance competitions to raise the awareness on health and wellness.
Through the universal language of dance set to take effect February 2025, we aim to inspire positive behavioral change, promote health education, and foster a sense of unity among the youth while addressing critical challenges like mental health. This project will not only empower the participants but also contribute to a healthier and more informed youth population.
Adolescents and youth continue to face significant challenges related to health awareness, including
limited access to information and resources leading to preventable health issues.
The lack of engaging and informative health programs hinders their ability to make informed choices
