Because tribalism has robbed Marsabit of its peace.

Because youth are tired of being used, then abandoned.

Because climate change is hitting us harder than most.

Because we believe we can do better — together.

We are not waiting for outsiders to save us. We are rising from within.

"We are the bridge between what Marsabit is and what Marsabit can become."
