YEP, Youth Empowerment Program
The Youth Empowerment Program (YEP) works with youth
throughout Kenya via seminars, rallies, and activities. The
program allows youth to openly discuss issues related to sexuality,
substance use, and the impact of the many choices they will
be asked to make. Often, youth in Kenya do not have access
to accurate information about disease and the impact of individual
behavior on the spread of disease. YEP operates a Purity Project,
in which a Kenyan youth and an American youth are united in
a covenant for purity, connecting continents as they share
this link of concern and care. Through events and rallies,
many youth are able to discuss topics that their culture has
never before allowed. These events are held in schools, villages
and slums where we find youth who are hungry for truth and
an understanding of their options.
Program Successes
HEART has had many youth approach us weeks and months after
going through one of our Purity Projects and share how the
teaching has changed and influenced their lives. Youth who
were once promiscuous and leading a high risk life have decided
to make a difference in not only their life, but in the future
of Kenya as they make a pledge to remain sexually pure until
marriage.
Opportunities For You To Help
If you have a passion for teaching youth, come to Kenya and
join us! If you cannot join us, but empowering youth to make
right choices is an integral part of your message and ministry,
any gift towards this goal would enable HEART to continue
reaching multitudes of Kenyan youth.
$250 will provide transportation and resources for a youth
rally where the youth will hear biblical principles on how
they can avoid being a part of the statistics, and learn life
lessons on how to make a difference in their lives and the
future of Kenya.
