Kinara ran eight youth-centred projects that touched 5 543 people—3 592 girls and women (65 %) and 1 951 boys and young men (35 %).

Economic power for young women. One-hundred-thirty-three young mothers completed baking-and-cookery training; 109 graduated, and roughly 95 % were already earning within weeks. Four business groups registered formally, and 43 mothers secured NIDA ID numbers and bank accounts to anchor future growth. Salon courses lifted another 52 young mothers and 100 out-of-school youth; half the mothers and 40 % of the youth picked up paying clients by year-end. A six-month tailoring class produced nine job-ready seamstresses—five now seek affordable machines to scale up.

Education and skills. Twelve teachers mastered hands-on science pedagogy and opened twelve SeedScience clubs that gave 2 856 students regular experiments; two public fairs drew more than 250 visitors and stoked wider curiosity. The MVC scheme kept 137 vulnerable children in class and issued micro-loans to 52 caregivers, 80 % of whom repaid on schedule, lifting household resilience.

Health and rights. Seventy-five Big Sisters, forty-five Big Brothers and twelve Strength-of-Mothers mentors guided 562 younger peers. Club attendance rose to 77 %, and 90 % of students passed SRHR exams, while outreach sessions reached 1 883 parents and neighbours, widening safe-health discussions at home.

Civic and organisational capacity. Five grassroots CSOs joined the Uwezo Hub; 29 staff members—about two-thirds female—sharpened fundraising, monitoring-and-evaluation and communication skills, strengthening local advocacy networks.

Bottom line – Practical training paired with community mentorship translated into immediate jobs, safer schools and stronger institutions. When Morogoro’s young people lead, progress is rapid and inclusive.
