Working with Kinara for Youth Evolution as the Program Manager for Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) is more than just a job it is a calling. I am deeply inspired by the impact we make in the lives of young people, especially students and out-of-school youth, by providing them with accurate, age-appropriate, and life-changing information about their health, rights, and futures. Many young people in our communities face challenges such as teenage pregnancy, gender-based violence, and lack of access to critical information. Through our school and community-based education sessions, I have witnessed how knowledge empowers them to make informed decisions, avoid risky behaviors, and pursue their dreams.

What keeps me going is seeing the transformation when a shy student becomes a confident peer educator, or when a young mother regains her voice and starts planning a better future. At Kinara, we don’t just teach we walk with youth through their journeys, and that’s what inspires me every day.
