Programs

School Mentorship Programs seek to instill knowledge, power, and influence of the mentor for the personal development of the mentee (Student). Intellectual challenges and personal insights of the mentee are of prime importance in out programs. 

Our mentorship program differs from Coaching since it is less formal and more personalized to the needs of the students. We believe that the relationships fostered in these programs are long-term. Mentorship programs provide lifelong success for students.

Sustainable development is the need of the hour that can save the mother earth from the repercussions of industrialization.

Mental Health is one of the most important sub thematic area of implementation in our organization and during this era when many people have little or no information about it, we have taken it upon ourselves to ensure we have a mentally healthy and stable so that we can have a mentally healthy happy and more productive society.

Mental health dialogues brings together stakeholders from both governmental and non governmental platforms, Mental Health Experts and practitioners, the survivors and the affected so as to try and sensitize the public more and capacity build and shade more light on this bleak subject that has been on the steady rise.

The mental Health Task force that was inaugurated on 11th December 2019 urged the government to declare it a national pandemic and through the dialogue we try to find out how it affects us and its impact on different sectors and also see on the mitigation strategies already in place to combat and what more can be done by individuals, the state, the county administrations and non governmental players to sensitize, prevent , diagnose and treat these cases among our youths and general society.

The power of sharing a personal story is well documented. We love hearing stories. Real or fiction, they add vibrancy to the human experience. They also help us feel connected to the world around us. And during these times, stories have the power to help us feel less alone in our very human experiences.

We started Story Yangu platform for young people to be able to share their stories and ordeals so as first to be able to get past them and focus and soldier on, to be able to be inspiration to those currently under the shadow and to show that what it actually takes to heal and be whole again. Real Personal experience shared creates much more impact in the healing process. 

Chapati Festival is a social protection program convened by Jijenge Youth Organization to promote Corporate Social Responsibility among CSOs and companies of goodwill. The festival provides a platform and an opportunity to provide and serve the underserved in our community, especially children, women and youths in childcare institutions

We believe that the festival provides an opportunity for those we visit to share and feel loved, feel included and feel like they're actual members of the society as we share foodstuff, toiletries, shoes, clothes and other donations to help better their living at the institutions.

Most female students are not able to afford the purchase of sanitary pads. Using other means these girls are left uncomfortable and often unhealthy during their menstrual cycle. This leads to many of them missing school for a few days each month as they are too uncomfortable or embarrassed to attend. Even if they attend school, they remain distracted and fail to pay attention to their lessons.

Data from the Kenya Ministry of Education revealed that girls from poor families’ miss 20% of school days in a year due to a lack of sanitary towels. The data indicates that a girl in primary school in between classes 6 and 8 can lose up to 18 weeks out of 108 weeks while those in high school can lose almost 24 weeks out of 144 weeks of learning. As a nonprofit community organization, we acknowledge that this is a great need and one that needs intervention.

We believe that every marginalized children and youth should have the opportunity to be able to read and write We seek to improve opportunities for young people to derive pleasure in reading, promote leadership and independence, improve exposure, as they expound their knowledge and skills through access to relevant books and amenities such as e-learning devices and community libraries
