The overall objective of the Action: To contribute to prevention of ethnic and political tension and polarization leading to (pre- and post- election) violence in Nakuru Kenya, through developing active youth leaders (Playmakers) using street-sports, culture and dialogue to build social cohesion between youth from different ethnic and political groups from East and West Nakuru. We will reach this overall objective by; using evidence-based trust-building approaches, through a locally based youth leadership development, challenging and changing mind-set, values, and relationships aimed at creating resourceful collaboratives of active citizens/youth leaders and the youth and children that they coach. Thus, bringing neighborhoods (across ethnic and political divides) together for prevention of violence and conflict using street sports and culture in the targeted communities as the mean.
