Stretchers Youth Organisation is a membership, Youth-led community-based organisation. An organisation that was founded in 2011 to promote health rights, good governance, and gender equality among youths and women by integrating capacity building, advocacy, and information sharing through linkage to service. The organisation works in the coastal counties of Kenya with a partial presence in Nairobi, Kisumu, and Siaya counties, respectively.

Mobilise Empower Actualise Transform (MEAT) works towards promoting increased peaceful inclusion of youth in political processes in the forthcoming Kenyan general election in 2022 so as to ensure that they have greater participation in decision making roles that have a large impact on their lives. Stretcher’s Youth Organisation will achieve this by empowering the youth on the importance of participating in electoral processes, as well as equipping them with the skills and tools to effectively navigate these political processes, conducting campaigns encouraging public discussions about youth participation in political affairs both online and offline. They will also have youth dialogues at the grassroots level and hope to see youths coming out in large numbers peacefully exercise their civic rights as voters and political candidates in the forthcoming election.
