Awake

We were proud to plug in changemakers to a powerful Changemaker Baraza hosted by Ashoka East Africa in partnership with International Trade Centre at Jenga Leo Co-working Space.

The conversation focused on Legal & Regulatory Aspects of Building Enterprises/Organizations and Sustainability Frameworks—equipping young people with the knowledge needed to build initiatives that are not only impactful, but also compliant and sustainable.

From understanding legal structures to asking critical questions around long-term sustainability, our changemakers showed up ready to learn and engage.

We also appreciate the collaboration with PaaMoja Initiative and Canada-Mathare Education Trust for enabling more young people to be part of this experience.

This is Awake Youth Konnect in action—connecting last-mile changemakers to spaces, knowledge, and opportunities that matter.
