Wezesha Elimu - Empowering Youths

Wezesha Elimu provides support to youths in informal settlements through various programs, including:

  1. Scholarship Opportunities
  2. Photography classes
  3. Remedial classes
2024 Photography and Content Creation Initiative

In 2024, Wezesha Elimu successfully enrolled three cohorts, each consisting of 25 youth, totaling 75 participants. The program focused on equipping these young individuals with practical skills in photography, videography, and content creation. Over the course of the year, participants engaged in hands-on training, learning how to capture and edit high-quality images and videos, as well as produce engaging digital content for various platforms.

Through this initiative, the youth developed a strong foundation in creative digital media, enhancing their technical abilities and fostering artistic expression. In addition to gaining proficiency in photography and videography, participants were introduced to the broader landscape of content creation, learning about storytelling, editing software, and the importance of social media in today’s digital world.

This program aimed to empower young people with valuable skills that could serve as a springboard for potential careers in the creative industry. By the end of the year, participants had not only improved their technical knowledge but also gained confidence in their abilities, opening up new opportunities for personal and professional growth. The initiative contributed to building a talented, digitally-savvy youth community ready to explore the dynamic field of content creation.
