Building Urban Resilience for Youth in Nairobi Mukuru informal settlement

Based on findings from a preparatory study in August 2019, the Danish Red Cross Youth (DRCY) and Kenya Red Cross Society (KRCS) now wish to initiate a joint pilot project Youth in an existing Urban Resilience (UR) program between the KRCS and Danish Red Cross (DRC) have a strong desire to give back to their communities and create positive change However, they lack the necessary tools and support for creating initiatives that target youth as beneficiaries Thus, DRCY will share core competencies and experience and support youth volunteers in identifying areas where they can create a positive impact for other youth Together, DRCY- and KRCS volunteers will find valuable ways for youth volunteers to help build resilience with other youth This will strengthen not only youth themselves but also the local community in question and the KRCS at large
