Dr. Ndung’u, who has long been an advocate for youth empowerment, expressed her concern over the low number of young men present at the event, with only three out of fifteen teens being male.

“Parents of young men, please dust yourselves off and expose the boychild to mentorship,” Dr. Ndung’u urged. She highlighted the disparity in gender representation and called for more intentional efforts to guide young men through their formative years.

Dr. Ndung’u emphasized that the teenage years are a critical period marked by identity crises and emotional challenges, requiring significant guidance from adults who are both intentional and understanding. “Shaping thinking at a young age is one of the best gifts a parent can give to their children,” she remarked, stressing the long-term impact of decisions made during adolescence.

According to Dr. Ndung’u, mistakes made in the teenage years can lead to a prolonged struggle to reorganize one’s life as an adult. She called on parents and guardians to be proactive in mentoring young men, helping them navigate this crucial stage of life.

The message resonated with many, reinforcing the need for increased attention to the mentorship and development of young men in Kenya. As Dr. Ndung’u continues her advocacy, her words serve as a reminder of the importance of guiding the next generation towards a brighter future.
