In Their Own Words

Training & Research Program

My name is Saidi Wallace. My group, Livity Heritage Youth Group, joined YIKE in 2005. Since then, YIKE's trainings have greatly enhanced our skills and knowledge, helping our members grow and stay informed in this digital age. These capacity-building sessions have been invaluable in developing both our traditional and contemporary performance abilities.

Digital Literacy Program

My name is Miriam Wambui. After finishing high school in 2008, and being part of Kayole Njiru Youth Group, I was introduced to YIKE, where I joined their Web Design training through the Nairobits program. YIKE equipped me with essential ICT skills and confidence. These skills opened doors for me, first as a web master intern at FIDA Kenya and later as an ICT trainer at Nairobits.

Urban Farming Project

Covid-19 spread across the world like a bush fire! Our Juakali sector was really affected. Thanks to YIKE for the Urban Farming project which saw us cultivate assorted vegetables, cabbage and tomatoes in Kamulu. We were able to feed our families and earn an income from the sale of the surplus food. A friend in need is a friend indeed!

Nilinde OVC Project

Through YIKE, my family gained more than just financial stability. They helped us secure vital birth certificates and provided economic strengthening packages that transformed our household. Now, my children safely access health services and education.
