Project
Claiming our space project determines to challenge and change the narrative that tribes are the problem by going back in history and using these lessons and experiences to redefine the future. The project helps young people to use history carried by their elders to draw parallels about political participation then and now. The objective is to use the endangered wealth of knowledge carried by the elderly key towards social justice, where young people are the beneficiaries of this knowledge, while at the same time, amplifying the voices of the elderly.
The project oversees change and a mental shift from tribal-based politics to issue based elections where leaders are elected out of their competence and policies and not by their tribe. This drives an effort to build a generation of changemakers; a powerful youthful generation that will not be used by politicians and tribal lords to cause chaos, but which will transform Kenya in as far as its leadership is concerned.
In an effort to create more opportunities for the youth in the target areas, the project works to enhance and build youth capacities through trainings on new media, production and content generation. Through its website and new media platforms, Tribeless Youth provides a platform for youth voices to be heard.
