From the Director, Ogur Youth Development Association

It is hard to imagine a world without the green cover, wetlands encroachment.

It is of great value when wetland is conserved and the green nature as well. In 2018, We carried out an assessment in Ogur sub county and the findings pushed us to come up with this play.

Readers of this script are or can also take part in our findings to enhance the environment through various avenues possible.



From the Director, M-Tech Media

Writing this script is one way of creating awareness to the public not only natives of Ogur sub county, but to the globe – about the benefits of environmental conservation. We started as drama which later became interesting to the locals of the Sub county of Ogur.

Taking part in organizing this play as M-Tech Media as also made us to create other videos that are educative i.e. The bride price, Ghost Love among others.

Introduction



The 2018 Data assessment indicated that human practice has led to degradation of environment through various ways for different purposes hence leaving the environment with lots of impacts which includes;

1. Outbreak of diseases due to improper disposal of waste materials such as; pads

2. Reduced amount of rainfall which affects growth of crops, trees, thus leading to low productivity, and hunger resulting to sickness and death.

3. Flooding may occur since wetland acts as breaks and or sponges that holds water and releases it slowly.

4. Soil erosion occurs since trees are cut down.

5. Environmental pollution.

6. Generally, environment is degraded.

In the community, most households still use firewood as cooking method. And this method is causing harm to them according to the findings since it produce a lot of smoke and also difficult to gather. In the process of gathering, they may land on dangerous animals since the forest is a habitat for such animals and insects.

Executive Summary
Youth in Line has sampled assessments in some villages of the ten parishes in Ogur sub county where questionnaires landed in the hands of youth aged 20 – 25 years where 57% of the youth assessed were married, 36% were single and 7% in courtship.
In the findings, it was realized that 40% of the youth were able to stop at primary level (Primary Leaving Examination level and below), 50% U.C.E and below, and 10% were able to reach U.A.C.E level.
Today, these youth have engaged in different activities however, the majority were able to start these activities with the small capital that is enabling them to earn a living with the little income generated. These youth are also undergoing challenges such as weather changes, lack of skills, inadequate capital, among others. Through these, deforestation arises due to demand for capital to run their businesses/activities leading to environmental degradation.
Likewise, many girls tend to engage in early s*x due to high demand for money to address their individual problems resulting into teenage pregnancies, early marriage and worse, majority get infected with s*xually transmitted infections (STIs) which sometimes emerge due to little or no information about Sexual Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) among youth mostly from the age of 13-24 years who are actively involved in s*xual in*******se.
Therefore, the advancement of some health centers in Ogur sub county, improvement of service delivery, setting of health camps and sensitizing youth and the community on SRHR problems, environmental conservation and other health related programs can be of a grater help.
