Who we are

Transforming young lives in Kiambu through skills, healing, and opportunity.

UjuziNest Foundation is a registered community-based organisation in Kiambu, Kenya, dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable young people. We work at the intersection of skills development, mental well-being, and sports empowerment, recognising that sustainable livelihoods begin with emotional resilience.

Our programmes are designed to address not only economic barriers, but also the psychological and social challenges that prevent young people from reaching their full potential. We create safe, inclusive spaces where youth can heal, learn, and grow into confident, self-reliant leaders.

Our Story

Creating Pathways for Youth to Grow and Build Sustainable Futures

UjuziNest was founded with a vision to create a safe and empowering space where young people can heal, grow, and build meaningful futures. We recognized that many youth face emotional challenges and limited opportunities, and that lasting change requires both psychosocial support and practical skills. Through mentorship, creative enterprise training, sports, and education support, UjuziNest helps individuals rebuild confidence and develop pathways toward independence. Our work continues to focus on empowering youth and strengthening communities by connecting healing with opportunity. We believe that when young people are given guidance and the right tools, they can unlock their full potential. By investing in youth today, we help build stronger and more resilient communities.
