Transformation Fund Budget Template and M & Plan

Transformation Fund Budget Template

I was tired...really tired at that point in my life. I had petitioned my friends to send me forwards of jobs that came their way because the road I was on seemed to lead to oblivion. Having good friends is a blessing! They were ready to help a sister out and they sent them in torrents. Well, as I was going through them, I came across the YALI Transformation Leadership program! As I soon as I opened it, I started smiling. It wasn't a job opportunity but a leadership training program that would bring together young people from East and Central Africa and allow them to share their experience...

By KENETH SAWE In a small production facility behind Thika Road Mall, wafts sweet smell of roasting millet while five workers are packing flour in bright-colour packets. This is Stawi Foods, a five-year old company built from scratch by Eric Muthomi, 29, as an answer to the problem of banana post-harvest losses in rural Meru. Even before he was done with his studies, Mr Muthomi knew that his future lay not in court corridors but in the uncertain path of entrepreneurship. A trained lawyer, Mr Muthomi has ...

By Hakiza Ronald I never liked it....In fact, I hated everything about it!Life to me was, but just a daily occurrence of events! Who the hell would ever start to lecture me about the meaning of life? I had defined it in my own rhythm, and scribbled a song to it. To me, life meant just that....LIFE!After my university degree, there was no more space for study...My brain, in my own definition had gone into limbo.But alas!!!!And then life began again. After my successful admission to the YALI RLC East ...

By Ernest Jacob Tuape Sunday, July 26, 2015. I am absolutely sure no participant from Cohort 1 will ever forget this day. Unless there's a reported case of amnesia, which I don't think any of us has. This day meant so much to me that I had to borrow a fitting jacket from Moses Mwenda, a guy I had known for just 6 days. I needed to be smart for this occasion. This was a it, a day to remember for a lifetime. I needed to feel every ounce of positive energy right from the outset. The way I dressed, walked...

By KENETH SAWE Fortunatus Ekklesiah from Tanzania and Heidi Mumia from Kenya have come up with an exciting way for Alumni to share via a Book Club. "The YALI RLC EA Book Club is a virtual educational platform for alums of the center to share, read, discuss, recommend books and help each other in developing and sustaining a reading culture. Each month they have a balanced-diet (schedule) of books to read and virtually meet to discuss them. Members can choose to read based on where they most need grow...

By KENETH SAWE Gakii Biriri has been been nominated for the Nelson Mandela - Graca Machel Youth Innovation Award. Below is a message from her. I am ovelwhelmed with both excitement and renewed humility. Excited because this is yet another platform that the children we work with get a better chance at life by our work with AHI being recognized and our credibility increasing. Humbled because I know that none of this is by my strength, it is by the support of an amazing team and family and friends who belie...

I have been trying to write this post for a while now. I was going to title it “My YALI Experience” but when Caroline Gitau came up with the brilliant idea of starting the #83DaysOfGratitude campaign I realized that in essence, experiences shared with, among and around each and every one of the 83, Cohort 3, YALI RLC EA participants, is my true YALI Experience. This is my story as part of the 83.On the 15th of November 2015, I packed my entire wardrobe (no, really…well almost) and headed for Kenyatta University. I was about to st...

By Lucy Mimo Mwakaba On Saturday 19th April 2016, The Lead Child organization paid a visit to Impacting Youth Trust. The purpose of the visit was to donate books and clothes which in turn would help in making the building of a library in the Eastland' s area a reality and also go a long way in helping those recovering from substance abuse by clothing them. As The Lead Child, an organization that trains 6- 13 year olds in leadership and money, we thought it a great opportunity to teach our children ...

The Incubator Category is for Tanzanian-owned organizations and initiatives that help other youth develop and unleash their potential, contributing to the development of the society and nation.It was a nerve wracking experience especially during the voting days and early hours of the award ceremony. But then I had 3 YALI big sisters of mine from Co...
