Empowering the youth through media training
Globally, the Salesians of Don Bosco are known for coaching and taking keen interest in the lives of young people. Though investing in the youth is costly, for the Salesians it is not optional. In Kenya, among other initiatives, the Salesians are empowering the youth through media training. The training is offered to underprivileged youths through the Bosco Eastern Africa Multimedia Services (BEAMS) in Nairobi. Thanks to BEAMS, youths who have gone through the training are now breadwinners in their families.
