Kenyans for Change recognizes and appreciates the huge potential that lies in the youth of Kenya. As such, the Boda Boda Get-Out-To-Vote and Peace project was born to positively empower and engage the youth at this critical time of national reform processes, especially the upcoming referendum.

Boda Boda GOTV – Get Out To Vote and Peace project is an initiative aimed at ensuring an active and constructive engagement of Boda Boda operators in national processes such as the upcoming Referendum.

This project if focused on harnessing the youthful energies to accelerate transformation through peaceful reform driven activities in Kenya’s pre and post Referendum.
Why did the project target Boda Boda operators?

They are a key segment of young Kenyan community and they possess a deep community penetration capacity through the transport services hence the belief that they are key grassroots change agents.

Since the introduction of multiparty democracy in Kenya in the 90’s, youth have yearned to play a role in nation building especially in terms of building and enhancing peace to create a better Kenya.

The Boda Boda project is a timely venture considering the largely destructive role played by the youth in the violence experienced in the country after the 2007 disputed Presidential election results. This is according a Report compile by The Youth Agenda  on the role youth played in the violence.
