Matthew and Kelvin are Special Olympics Youth Leaders from Kenya who will lead a Youth Innovation Project to solve a water sourcing and distribution need in their community.
Over the course of twelve months, Matthew and Kelvin will implement the water sourcing and distribution kiosks with the existing Unified Schools. The leadership shown by the Unified Schools will be used as a model to recruit other schools. They hope to establish three new Unified Schools and two new Unified Champion Schools through this project. Matthew and Kelvin, hope to promote leadership skills among young people with and without intellectual disabilities, raise awareness, improve self-esteem, and ultimately create an inclusive community for all.
