We work with a variety of community youth groups and organisations from the informal settlement areas, supporting their projects in the communities they reside in.
A group is likely to be considered if it is located in one of these areas:
1. Kawangware
2. Kayole
3. Kibra
4. Korogocho
5. Mathare
6. Mukuru
From our experience, we believe that groups having some formalisation and order are readily able to receive support and drive swift social impact in the community. Thus, a group or organisation will be considered if:
1. It is registered in Kenya as a youth group or community-based organisation.
2. It has a legal guideline (constitution) governing it.
3. It has existing members registered under the group.
4. It holds regular meetings, with at least 3 meetings documented (minutes).
5. It exists and operates within a community in an informal settlement.
We seek to walk with groups that hold our belief of “leaving nobody behind.” Therefore, a project will be considered if:
1. It benefits the surrounding community within a 500-metre radius of the group or organisation.
2. The group members own the project.
3. The group members work the project themselves on a frequent basis.
4. The project earns them an income or has the potential to do so.
