John Wesley Odhiambo

John Wesley is a passionate advocate from Kisumu County whose work centers on the community, especially adolescents, young women, youth and marginalized communities often left out of critical conversations. He is deeply committed to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), mental well-being, and climate justice, while pushing for systems that are more inclusive, accountable, and just.

At the core of his work is a strong belief in people-centered governance. John actively participates in civic education, public participation forums and accountability spaces, and community dialogues aimed at helping the young people get informed, understand their rights, engage in county planning processes, and empowered to hold leaders accountable.

Through his involvement with Dreams Redefined Community Based Organization, John supports inclusive sexuality education and youth empowerment initiatives that seek to end the triple threat of new HIV infections, teen pregnancy, and sexual and gender-based violence, and promote civic education and meaningful youth participation in governance processes.
He uses both storytelling and grassroots action to reflect community realities, amplify unheard voices, and advocate for responsive systems that serve all.
