The National Youth Rally 2025 brought together young people from across the nation to celebrate their achievements and power. Makiba Ward spoke passionately about the importance of leading with purpose. She asked youth to stay determined, creative, and kind as they work to shape the future.

Makiba reminded the young people that challenges will come, but success grows from steady effort. She called on them to support each other, avoid violence, and build a culture of peace. Youth, she said, are the heart of the nation and hold the key to its progress.

She also urged the adults in the community to guide and encourage young people with mentorship and support. Together, young people and leaders can build a stronger, more united nation. The rally was a call to action—a moment to rise and soar together toward a bright future.
