Who We Are

Makueni Youth Network CBO was founded in 2014 to build a movement of young people committed to driving positive change across social, educational, political, and economic spaces. The organization believes that young people lack structured spaces to learn, innovate, and lead. Without such hubs, leadership potential remains untapped, perpetuating poverty, marginalization, and weak civic participation. Our core mission is to mobilize, collaborate, empower, and mentor young people to confront systemic barriers and be agents of change. To realize this long-term impact, Makueni Youth Network values partnership with development actors development actors, county and national governments, civil society, and the private sector to co-create sustainable solutions.
