This approach is addressing the underlying causes of disengagement and disaffection of youths in participating in violent extremism and radical groups. Some extremists are attracted by a coherent ideological position which can be rationalized intellectually; most of the young people are much more likely to be influenced by peers and by immediate situational and community pressures.
The project is undertaken in 3 counties namely: Mombasa, Kwale and Kilifi counties where we promote a shared vision and sense of belonging and to build interaction amongst the youth to overcome the isolation. It aims at building understanding and mutual respect and breaks down the barriers between people of different backgrounds, race, and social class etc.
