#WhatIf? (Ambassador Grant)

United Against Gang Violence

Four workshops with young people and mothers from Mvita sub-County helped to develop a united approach to an issue that deeply affects their community.

Following the success of their video campaign in 2019, which depicted various members of the community – teachers, parents and friends – as each holding responsibility in preventing gang recruitment, team ‘What If?’ developed the videos into a suite of educational resources.

They wanted to use them to educate mothers, guardians and young people on their individual roles in tackling this issue, and to come to a common understanding of how to approach it.

The team are part of our Ambassadors programme, which gives exceptional young activists who have participated in the Young Cities programme before an opportunity to develop further important projects.
