Our Mission & Vision

Our Mission

Provide opportunities and space for youth from marginalized communities in Kenya who have demonstrated leadership potential to access formal higher education and informal leadership development opportunities, enabling them to substantially contribute to the development of their communities and inform and engage policy development at all levels.

Our Vision

Empowered and motivated youth from communities historically marginalized from political engagement and economic and social opportunities contributing to the development of their communities and nation.

Our Objectives

  • Education and Leadership Development:  Invest in formal education and informal leadership skills, initially focusing on marginalised youth from Laikipia,
  • Awareness and Self-Confidence: Cultivate awareness among youth to help them emerge as self-aware, confident, representative, and accountable leaders.
  • Community Impact: Develop local leadership skills and capacities that enable participants to foster community resilience, propose innovative solutions, drive social progress, and inspire transformative and sustainable change at local, national, regional, and international levels.
  • Networking and Collaboration: Provide opportunities and exposure for youth participants to form and engage with influential youth networks, drawing inspiration from peers to seize existing opportunities and create new ones.
  • Strategic Partnerships: Build partnerships with other entities within the youth leadership ecosystem to empower youth as critical thinkers and problem solvers, contributing their community’s perspective to national and international policy debates.
  • Exposure to Global Issues: Expose participants to socio-political, environmental, and economic challenges, engaging them with innovative solutions and adaptive technologies, including digitalization.
