• PEER EDUCATION
Almost all members of P.Y.F. are trained peer educators. We always do advocacy programmes in schools and organise community outreaches to educate the community. We also have some radio programmes that target youth and women to share their health experiences

• YOUTH EMPOWERMENT
We have three sub-programmes under this programme.

Youth in leadership and governance
We advocates for youth representation in any democratic process in this country.P.Y.F. has been organizing youth forums and workshops to enable young people express themselves freely. We are therefore appeal all young in this state to participate with commitment. We have realised that what the young people need is elementary participation which means there must be consultation and young people must be asked their opinion before a decision made. Youth need participation with autonomy and power

Gender equality
Young ladies in Kenya have not been given a chance to speak by their own. We need more ladies on board so that we can change this country together. P.Y.F. is ready to empower ladies from marginalised community to fight for their position in this country. We do organise work and camps for ladies. During this time they got the opportunity to express themselves and understand each other best.
Entrepreneurship
P.Y.F planned to start economical support to the members. This is to achieve some of MDGs objectives. We plan to start the revolving funds for our members.
• YOUNG MOTHERS
These are girls who conceive at the early stage in life. The community that we live on has neglect and discriminate these ladies for so long. As P.Y.F. we need these ladies to feel a sense of belonging and very valuable in this community. Having been neglected for so long, they only found themselves prostituting. Aborting, violating the rights of their young ones unknowingly and some times causing death. As a young people, we do understand our fellow better because some of us have been victims, this is why we have:
• A back to school programme
• Vocational training
• Economic empowerment.
But at the end of it all, children suffered most. Current P.Y.F has three trained Paralegals and to members trained on child rights. Child rights violation has been a culture in this country. We have there came up with some resolution. One of the resolutions is to establish children council.
CHILDREN COUNCIL
To help children in this society, we have realised the formation of children council in this country can help address children issues. We will be organising workshops and camps for the children and parents. Community outreaches is one of the tools that we will enable us reach the community.

• ENVIRONMENT AND SANITATION.
P.Y.F. has five members trained on environmental issues by Catherine a student form Nairobi University doing masters on Environment. The team works with other members to improve environmental condition in Kenya. P.Y.F members have been planting tree in different parts of the country. We also provide lectures in schools and society at large. We promise to continue planting trees and conduct many community clean-ups in Kibera slum. The major challenge has been seeds.
This is why we have been slow to our commitment. If you think you can help please contact us.
We are going to launch three million tree planting campaign in Nyanza province
