Our Focus Areas

Coming soon...

In partnership with the Undugu Mentorship Initiative, we offer mentorship and career guidance to students and out-of-school youth. Over 20,000 young people have benefited, with 1,000+ students receiving scholarships to pursue their academic dreams.

Our Badilisha Maisha Youth Movement empowers youth, women, and persons with disabilities through business and agricultural support, training, and access to resources — all aimed at eradicating poverty and achieving food security.

We support community health promoters to reach households directly — screening, detecting, advising, and referring early-stage health cases. This reduces delayed treatment, saves household income, and ensures a healthier, more productive population.

Through our flagship MtiMtoto Initiative, we link every child’s birth to the planting of ten trees — five at home, five in communal areas. Since 2018, this program has restored degraded landscapes with over 36,000 trees planted, strengthening climate resilience and fostering environmental stewardship at the grassroots level.
