Inua Program

These programs are intended for all within our target groups, who can benefit from them. They are aimed at reducing donor dependency and promoting economic sustainability. Inua translates to “raise” or loosely translated to “empower” in Swahili. Some of the projects under this program include ICT training for high school students, entrepreneurship skills training, vocational training, and small business incubation. Our goal is to also expand from only providing entrepreneurship skills to soft skills and eventually job placements.

Financial empowerment

Financial empowerment is essential for Kenya’s growth, especially as access to financial services like bank accounts and mobile money increases faster than financial literacy. Many Kenyans can use financial tools, but lack the knowledge to ​make informed decisions. True financial empowerment means understanding how to manage money, budget, plan, and navigate financial products with confidence. Without these skills, individuals especially those in vulnerable communities struggle to benefit from economic opportunities. Financial literacy training helps people grasp the basics of money management, saving, and investing, enabling them to build financial security and plan for the future. Without it, many Kenyans are unable to save for retirement, grow their income, or create stability for themselves and their families.

Mentorship Programs

Under this program, we focus on strengthening community centers across Kenya spaces that play a vital role in development, youth engagement, and community unity. These centers provide safe alternatives for young people, keeping them away from crime, drug abuse, and other harmful activities. “Ukarabati,” meaning rebuilding or rehabilitation in Swahili, reflects our commitment to restoring and uplifting these shared spaces. Youth mentorship is a key pillar of this effort. In Kenya, mentorship has become essential in helping young people build confidence, develop life skills, and access opportunities they might otherwise miss. Through mentors, youth gain guidance, positive role models, and connections to networks, internships, and job pathways. Mentorship also fosters belonging especially for those who lack support within their communities and helps break cycles of poverty by opening doors to education and employment. Through our Inua program, the Mhenga Project pairs students with suitable mentors during their school years, giving them the support, direction, and opportunities they need to create a better future.
