Join us on a journey of transformation as we delve into the impactful stories of young individuals who have undergone a life-changing youth training program. This video showcases the milestones achieved by our partner, Lifeskills Promoters, through Brooke's funding, empowering youth with essential skills while championing the welfare of working animals, especially donkeys.
Through intensive four-month training sessions held in Kiserian and Githunguri-Ruai, we focused on instilling vital life skills and donkey welfare practices. From harnessing and handling to nutrition and riding, the program aimed to cultivate a deep understanding of animal welfare policies among youth development organizations (YDOs).
In the voices of the youth themselves, we witness the profound impact of this initiative. Formerly troubled and grappling with issues like drug addiction and aggression, these young individuals share their personal journeys of growth and empowerment.
They recount how their perceptions of donkey welfare and their roles in society have evolved, thanks to the guidance and support provided by Lifeskills Promoters and Brooke EA. From once being uncertain about their futures and struggling with personal hygiene, these youths have emerged as agents of positive change in their communities.
They now proudly care for their donkeys, ensuring their well-being and respecting their contributions to their livelihoods. Their stories serve as a testament to the transformative power of education, mentorship, and compassion.
Join us in celebrating these remarkable individuals and the organizations that have made their journey possible. Together, we are fostering a brighter future for youth and working animals alike."
