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...

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 ...

By Susan Anyangu Amu Words like inspiration and game changer tend to get used a lot, but Ernest Tuape, a Cohort 1 alumnus from Uganda, says his experience at YALI Regional Leadership Center East Africa was just that. “In the second half of 2013, I was struggling with personal and career decisions, and I needed to speak to someone. I reached out to someone who I believed would guide me and be a mentor. Instead, this person asked me to pay him for his time, and I did, during our first and wh...

By Susan Anyangu Amu When I first walked into the doors of the YALI Regional Leadership Center East Africa, I was enthusiastic and eager to improve my leadership skills at a personal level. During the introduction phase of the program, the team at the Center reminded us that we had ‘a great weight on our shoulders’ to ensure that we replicate the lessons learned and impact other youth in our respective communities. This statement struck me as profound. Immediately I realized that the program w...

How to Engage Govt Officials Video by Winfred Athembo

By REUBEN MBUVE Most of us have no clue what we want to do with our lives. Even after we finish school. Even after we get a job. Even after we’re making money. Between ages 18 and 25, I changed career aspirations more often than I changed my underwear. And even after I had a business, well, and killed it down, it wasn’t until I was 29, and after joining YALI-RLC-EA that I clearly defined what I wanted for my life.Chances are you’re more like me and have no clue what you want to do. It’s a strugg...

By Helina Andoh Young African Leaders Initiative (YALI) Regional Leadership Center has given me the best experience ever since i joined the numerous beneficiaries in Ghana.

Due to this, i began a club in my community called Odom Teens Club. MISSION To help reduce ...

By Fredrick Omondi Oduor Whether you ask the ordinary citizens,  the civil servants or political leaders you will be told that my great Country, Kenya, is deeply affected by corruption and misuse of public resources.

By Esther Neema Mumo There is a point at which one reaches, after which one attains a point of no return. I feel for me, YALI is that place. I may not be able to point at the one thing, and say, this is it, but certainly the entire event is extremely transformational, and unforgettable.  After my shock of believing that I had made it to YALI, I would be very prepared for the most exciting journey that was about to begin. I was not dissapointed, this was delivered. The people especially. It was v...

In case he has no interest to re-apply, I asked him how I am going to apply, and the techniques how to write a good application. I take an initiative to improve my English language skill. For that purpose, I joined an English Language Training Center in my locality, just 5 kilo meters away from my home. In this training center I used to learn for three months, in which I learnt the four languages skills. My husband purchased me some...

The journey from Nairobi to Nakuru on 13th October 2018 the commencement was longer than usual. The three and a half hours for the journey seemed like more than six hours. The society I was seeing outside the van I was traveling in seemed to have more needs that needed to be served, needs that I was not sure whether I was capable of helping it meet. That was then and the sleepless nights have only dragged on and they seem never ending. Building a house starts with laying one brick after, of course, digging the trenches and conducting proper measurements and planning among other things. The YA...
