United Nations Youth Association of Kenya (UNYA Kenya) is a national nonprofit membership organization established in 2015 in order to promote the effective participation of youth including young women and girls with the United Nations. We primarily focus on policies for Economic Empowerment and Gender Equality, Human Rights as well as Social Integration, to advance the mandate of the United Nations while empowering youth to become worthwhile contributors to societal development. The organization is made up of chapters spread across the country representing university students, marginalized youth, young women and girls’ and youth led organizations. We connect together to build synergy leveraging on the resources thus harnessing the intellectual capacity of our youth to promote peace, democracy, tolerance, economic empowerment, cultural diversity and facilitate human development.
