In March, 2021, the Green String Network began pilotingKumekucha Quest with funding from Grand Challenges Canada.Kumekucha Quest is an innovative movement that adaptsGreen String Network’s existing community-led social cohesionProgramme, ‘Kumekucha: It’s a New Dawn’, for children,teenagers, and young adults aged 10 to 24 years old in Kenya.The movement comprises three Programmes: KumekuchaQuest (for 18 to 24 year olds); Kumekucha Vijana (13 to 17 yearolds); and Kumekucha Watoto (10 to 12 year olds).
This is a report updating the progress on KQ. We are excited to share that Kumekucha Quest (KQ) has made significant strides by hosting a collaborative encounter where our new partners, Teen Seed and Breaking Margins Africa, came together to learn and grow as a collective. This gathering fostered deeper connections and mutual learning, embodying the essence of our social healing movement—community at its core.
Key areas of focus included the use of healing-centered language in daily interactions and the implementation of harassment policies. These discussions sparked insightful conversations around the establishment, maintenance, and transformation of safe spaces, further enhancing our shared understanding of fostering supportive environments. We look forward to continuing this journey with our partners as we strengthen our impact.
