”A little kindness today makes tomorrow better”

These are the words that were used in the online flyers prepared by the peace club members of Mlongwema Secondary School. This is from the efforts initiated by these young people in continuing the campaign to eradicate poverty, early marriage and early pregnancy in the areas of Mlola and Ngwelo in Lushoto district. These young people were members of the peace club which is being facilitated by YPM, where YPM provided various trainings on Climate Action, Gender Equality, Quality Education and Good Health and Well-Being amongst other, for which are sustainable development goals (SDG), goal no. 13,5, 4 and 3.
