Training with the Movers

It is that time of the month again when Youth on the Move (YotM) says goodbye to one batch of training participants and the day draws nearer for the next group to take part in the epilepsy trainings.

The Ministry of Youth has participated actively in the trainings by sending their officers to attend the trainings; the epilepsy trainings which have been ongoing since March and will come to a head in December.

YotM invites everyone interested in epilepsy to take part in the trainings at the YotM offices in Nairobi West and be a part of this inspiring team.
