About Us

    Empowering youth through
    skills, wellbeing, and opportunity

    UjuziNest is a youth-focused initiative based in Kenya, working to tackle unemployment, financial exclusion, and limited access to mental health support among young people. We deliver a community-based, integrated model that equips youth with practical skills, financial literacy, and psychosocial support to help them transition into sustainable livelihoods.

    Our approach combines:

    • Creative enterprise and income-generating skills
    • Financial education and business support
    • Sports for development and resilience-building
    • Mentorship and mental wellbeing support
    • Education and opportunity linkages

    By addressing both economic and emotional barriers, UjuziNest enables young people to build confidence, resilience, and long-term independence.
