Advertisements on job opportunities are disseminated to youth. Consequently; a number of our graduates are attached to different trade establishments. In addition to that a micro finance program is in progress to empower the youth economically.
We have recruited 75 youth to undergo a youth empowerment programme where at the end of their programme they will join the micro finance dept to save and access credit with interest free loans.

Youth Peer Education on HIV & AIDS and Drug Abuse Awareness Program

The Programme was initiated as education was directly affected by HIV& AIDS pandemic and Drug abuse. Hence, an awareness programme is implemented by using Video Projector during outreaches. A youth football team formed is also used to sensitize its team members and the spectators during football matches.
MEDA also has a Peer Education program and ambassadors of change (AOCs) for the youth in ‘Maskans’ youth bases. The Programme targets youth out-of- school. They are reached through magnet theatre, dissemination of Information Education Communication (IEC) materials, one-one peer education and group sessions at the Maskans. This programme covers eight zones in malindi, namely shella, maweni, barani, majengo, kisumu ndogo, msabaha, gede and watamu. Where two hundred youth have been trained as volunteers for the programme. due to the limited funds available to sustain and increase more  volunteers to reach more people, we appeal for more sponsorhip of this programme.
