Bungoma Governor Kenneth Lusaka has signed a Memorandum of Intent with Amref Health Africa and Tiko Africa to establish Youth Empowerment Centres for Health (YEC4H) in all the county’s 45 wards.
The initiative, launched in Bungoma on Wednesday, seeks to address the triple threat facing the county’s young people-teenage pregnancies, new HIV infections, and gender-based violence (GBV), while also promoting digital inclusion, mental health, and economic empowerment.
