Local Youth in Mukogodo...
There are approx 50 youth (boys and girls of 15 years and upwards) in the community based at Musul Group Ranch in western Mukogodo who would like to be able to start up a local Youth Group and also to develop links and communication with other youth groups elsewhere in Kenya - so that “they can be together” and to “share ideas and experiences”. This is a great ambition for the youth in such a remote area of the country which is without regular public transport or reliable mobile phone network.
To help get their idea underway, I've suggested possible links with the Koija Hope Club, some 20 kilometres distant, whereby youth from the two communities might be able to meet up at the local 'soko' (market) at Kimanjo on Wednesdays. The provision of a football to help the youth start a local soccer team at Musul in the New Year will also help.
Funds for monthly contributions to a group are also a problem for the youth, so to help overcome this, they might begin practising traditional singing and dance, etc which could be of interest to visiting tourists once Musul's new eco-tourism facilities are constructed.
