Kisumu Youth at the Forefront Rising for the SDGs! During International Youth Day 2025
International Youth Day Kisumu County

On 7th August 2025, Kisumu County came alive with energy, ideas, and innovation as we joined the world in marking International Youth Day under the theme Local Youth Action in SDGs and Beyond.

This year’s celebrations highlighted the powerful role young people play in driving sustainable development at the grassroots level. From climate action to entrepreneurship, Kisumu youth are not waiting for the future — they are actively shaping it today.

Key Highlights of the Day:

IYD2025 Kisumu for SDGs Action
  • Youth Dialogues: Engaging discussions on employment, climate change, and leadership that generated actionable ideas for community growth.
  • Exhibitions: Showcasing youth-led businesses and innovations that are creating jobs, solving problems, and inspiring peers.
  • Community Service Projects: Practical initiatives that left a positive footprint on the environment and society.

The event brought together government representatives, development partners, and community leaders to exchange knowledge, strengthen networks, and celebrate youth excellence.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to HKSAI, our County Representative Elizabeth Otieno, and our partner organizations whose support made this event possible. Your investment in youth is an investment in a brighter, more inclusive future.

As we look ahead, let us continue empowering young people with the resources, platforms, and trust they need to lead change — not just on International Youth Day, but every day.
