We have youths in various levels. Those that have just completed Fonfour are staying at home. Those that are engaged in law in the border section We've realised that after Foon Foo you stay at home maybe for about 2 years waiting for the decision from your parents to say why should you be idle, you must be doing something and having learned as a peer educator by the organisation called Adeo I thought it was that it's very important to exploit what I learned from that organisation And I realised that when I was going home, many of the youths were very idle, they were doing nothing, just sitting around maybe at the market I thought that I think if they continue like this we might have a lot of maybe crime rates increasing and also the poverty levels increasing And many of the youths were looking upon their parents to buy for them basic things So I said no, let me sell this information to these young children So early 2005 I formed a group called Weyete Organisation Weyete, in English means assisting yourself So we came up with about 20 members I talked to them, young people We also said that we cannot work young people alone, we need also to engage our elders also That's our mothers in giving us moral support So we also involved the mothers in that organisation to support And one of the thing that we did was to come up with an economical project And we started table banking, collecting some few coins after 2 weeks After 2 weeks we meet, then this money accumulated for some time After about a period of what time? For about now 1 year So you collect the money for a whole year? We bank after 2 weeks we meet and we say what we do now about this money So members decided to buy a cow And as I'm talking now, we have about 20 animals From 2005? Because we looked at our mothers, they were not able And the youths were actually just sitting idle Now from there many of the youths have even bought motorcycles They are doing very well So let me cut you short For this group that you have 20 animals with It's about the members who are in this group What age are they? Age, actually from 2005 We've been trying to, you see other youths they get some opportunities To go and train, we recruit others to fill that gap So far we have 25 members And still, wherever they are they are still contributing because they are still members Wherever they are And I'm telling you right now when you go there The poverty level has gone down If you have 20 animals then that's At the end of the day we collect what you are getting That's milk And then after a period of time We give one of the calf that has gone At least we give to another member That's how we distribute those animals We said now we cannot have only one group We went further and also looked at the border sector We came to realize that some of them who are being maybe higher in this motorcycle And then you see you are given maybe 500 lings The owner says you give me 300 lings So we said what do we do with these 200 lings? Can you do something? So we also took an initiative of educating them So right now when you go to a border home It's better than someone who is in Nairobi here Who is earning 30,000 And when you look at what he is doing You cannot even compare with the border border This border border is well educated This children is stable Because we offered the knowledge And I said that If this country Realize the potential that the youth have It's a lot This country will grow very fast That's why I say that I chose to come here So that I will get the young children who are there That we have opportunities Not just come in Nairobi At home we have opportunities If only You sacrifice to work with the others If you sacrifice to work with the others And we have various ideas Those ideas we bring them to the table And then we make them practical So now you have two groups We have five groups That's nice So the first one is doing Is working on That's dairy We have Makaka youth group What do those ones do? Makaka youth group is another group In another sublocation They are also a youth group They are doing That's what culture Planning of skumawiki Tomatoes Selling them across So we take them to Ghana That's nice So we have Fanyakazi BPD It's another one also That's in the world Because we say in every part we must have a group We cannot come all of us together So that we go and save this idea To what they are doing So we distribute some of our members To go to the other groups To educate them on what we are doing What do Fanyakazi do? Fanyakazi group They use that we have employed To be doing business Like the kinyosi The next one We have another one called To Saidiyani And from another we have about For sublocation in the world So those ones are also dealing with This one I've engaged in Selling of cereals That's nice So in each group How many members? In each group has about Minimum is 20 The highest has got 25 Which is Makaka Yutu group So if you're that far What about people who are in Nairobi Or other counties How can you reach out to those people? Because what you're doing is something good And people are making money out of it Through this program Because you cannot be Known If you don't have that kind of an opportunity And how many people are watching This program And I think they will be able to know what you are doing I'll be able to give my number At the end of the program So I want to appeal to the young people Whatever they are That they should not depend On the political people You see many of the youths are being used In a wrong way Saidi that if you want If you are talking about crime You are talking about poverty You are talking about the youths Our neighbouring county In Matungu you had people killing each other And when you make the statistics You realize that the people involved Are the youth Not the old people Because they have the energy Which is being wasteful And they are getting paid little money And that money cannot help them So it's also a way of Killing crime So my intention is to fight one As a peace educator I know we are talking about peace You must involve people We talk about peace awareness We talk about innovativeness That's ideas That if you have an idea That can help the society Please let the society benefit And I appeal to the whole country That they should be able to tap The ability Of the young people Young people have so much potential They have so many things to do Go to these industries like hotels The people who are working there are youths In every field they are the youths But they should be made productive And I appeal to even the people From the grassroots You see youths must be Powerful Must be engaged Must play in what you call Political public Pastipation They should make a decision And should be part and parcel In terms of identifying Some of the project they think Are essential for them For the society Not that somebody comes with a project That is not a basic thing for them So it should be something that can be done Not something that is over the top That is not unrealistic That is what I mean So would you mind sharing your number So that maybe if someone would like To be part of your teams Thank you My number is 0713938782 You can also email Moses Barasa 0001 at gmail.com So yes Thank you so much for making time to be with And telling the young people That there are so many things That can be done out there Not just you finish school You get your degree and you tamak The whole year looking for employment You should tap into that Into the creative ideas you have Today it's all about Making people aware that You can do something on your own So we are about to wind up But don't you go anywhere We are taking a short musical break And we will be back with more of the e-circuit
