Dr. Brian Mwenda, who supported the movement with a Ksh 50,000 contribution, emphasized that the youth are the future and the backbone of any nation. He noted that they must be supported, especially in the digital age, to thrive and succeed in their innovative lifestyles.
At the same time, Embu Youth President Keziah Ngari highlighted that the movement is committed to several initiatives aimed at improving the livelihoods of the vulnerable and uplifting the communities around them.
