Empowering Youth: Alfred’s Journey with Entepesi Kenya
In the quiet village of Kimana, nestled against the breathtaking backdrop of Kajiado County, Kenya, an 18-year-old named Alfred Muuo stands out as an inspiration to his peers. But life here isn’t all sunsets and savannahs. “Being young in a community where drug and substance abuse is rampant and early marriages are common isn’t easy,” Alfred admits. “It’s a daily battle to stay on the right path.”
For many youths in Kimana, these challenges feel insurmountable, but Alfred’s story is one of transformation, thanks to Entepesi Kenya (EK). This remarkable NGO has been tirelessly working to uplift communities like Alfred’s, offering programs that don’t just change lives—they save them.
Alfred’s turning point came when he attended one of EK’s youth training programs. “Before the training, I didn’t think much about my future. I didn’t believe I could achieve anything big,” he shares. However, the sessions, which focused on self-esteem, positive attitudes, and envisioning a brighter future, sparked a change.
“I learned how to boost my self-esteem,” Alfred says with a smile. “Now, I see myself as someone who can make a difference—not just for me, but for others too.” His newfound confidence radiates in the way he carries himself, and his determination is inspiring.
Alfred says he isn’t keeping this treasure trove of knowledge to himself. He will become a vocal advocate for EK’s training programs, encouraging his friends and peers to join. “I will tell them, to attend these sessions! Be attentive and share what they learn. It’s like planting seeds of hope—you never know how far they’ll grow.” says Alfred.
When asked what more he’d like EK to do, Alfred doesn’t hesitate. “We need sex education and career guidance,” he says passionately. “Our community needs to understand the importance of focusing on their future instead of falling into bad habits.”
Alfred dreams of a Kimana where young people are empowered to pursue their goals, free from the shackles of early marriages and substance abuse.
To Entepesi Kenya and its supporters, Alfred has one heartfelt message: “Thank you for believing in us. Please continue with these programs—they’re changing lives.”
Alfred’s story is just one of many. EK’s programs are a cornerstone for youths in underserved areas, offering them tools to overcome their challenges and dream bigger. But the work isn’t done.
