NCCK Awards Footballs to Mark International Youth Day 2023
Just over 800 youths from Maragwa Constituency, Murang’a County, participated in a dynamic Sports Tournament and Talent Show aimed at combating drug and substance abuse among the youth.
The Tournament held at Makuyu Boys High School was organized by the National Council of Churches of Kenya (NCCK) in partnership with the Maragwa Students’ Association to mark the 2023 International Youth Day.
The Tournament was graced by Athi Water Works Board Chair Charles Karondo, Kimomori Ward Member of County Assembly Hon Elizabeth Mwangi, and Murang’a county government representatives.
The NCCK awarded footballs to the five top teams including Homeboys FC, Kimworori FC, Midway FC, Dera FC, and Kakuzi FC.
NCCK is committed to ensuring that young people immerse themselves in constructive and productive endeavors, and to spearhead a wholesome youth for a wholesome society.
Maragwa Constituency has been grappling with high rates of drugs and substance abuse hence the need to sensitize the youths on alternative ways of using their time and energies.
The 2023 International Youth day was themed “Green Skills for Youth: Towards a Sustainable World” and aimed at promoting knowledge, abilities, values, and attitudes needed to live in, develop and support a sustainable and resource-efficient society.
