First Lady Margaret Kenyatta has encouraged young people to be agents of positive change and progress by adding their voice to addressing problems facing the society.
The First Lady pointed out that the youth hold the key to the future and should proactively contribute to the search for solutions to challenges such as maternal and child mortality, poverty alleviation, hunger, inadequate housing, environmental degradation as well as curbing the spread of HIV/AIDS.
“These are critical issues of our time, and I firmly believe that as young women and men, you hold the keys to our future in your hands,” she said.
The First Lady was speaking on Tuesday when she officially opened the 37th annual East African Model United Nations (EAMUN) Conference at the United Nations Complex at Gigiri in Nairobi.
