Nothing would be a
more fitting tribute to an organization like KENe (Kokelo Empowerment for the
Needy) than a well documented recognition for the blessing the organization has
become to the youth of Migori County and its environs.
In fact the most
important contributions towards the youth empowerment within the region, which
is their core agenda, has been the enablement of the youth to support one
another and to claim and discover their personal potential through job creation
and confidence building programs.
KENe among other
productive youth-oriented initiatives provides volunteer opportunities for the
youth who have helping hands and would like to find something worth their time
to do while free. Seeing as to it that volunteering is such a noble way to
serve, KENe inculcates the virtue of selflessness among our youth.
The programs run by
KENe include the placement of trainees in healthcare provision. The trainees
then have a chance at learning by apprenticeship how to save lives and provide
ready aid to health workers, a move that has brought smiles to the faces of
patients.
KENe realizes that
empowerment can never be met fully without education. The organization has
promoted education initiatives by advocating for education among the youth and
thereby having the society knowledgeable.
Tourism is yet another
pillar that KENe has strived very hard to tap into. Tourism, being one of the
drivers of the County economy and the nation by extension, KENe continues to
ensure that Tourist sites within the Western region are marketed both locally
and internationally. With the promotion of tourism through protection and
favorable marketing of tourist sites, KENe attracts world attention necessary
for the appreciation of tourist sites and tourism in Kenya.

Through sustained,
collective and collaborative effort KENe continues to work with the society and
community through other developmental initiatives that promote economic power
to the community.
More stories of KENe’s
successes speak volumes as the organization continues involving the communities
in a bid to improve the quality of life and maximize their potential.
In turn, the youth and teenagers of Migori
County have shown tremendous success and a shift from job seeking mischief-making
youth to a culture of personal responsibility and commitment. With such
successes, KENe stands to become the hope for any progressive society.
KENe is deliberately
making waves in the way things are done within the Western Circuit region in
Kenya and have the prospects of transcending the borders into neighboring
nations within the East African Region.
It would, undoubtedly
be a truly ambitious undertaking and one that I believe would be worth every
effort if KENe would receive the support of policy makers and political
leadership for the benefit of the society.
