At the Jonathan Jackson Foundation, we partner with youth, women and men in Nairobi’s informal communities who are not in employment, education, or training (NEET). Through Jenga Bizna Mtaani, we provide tailored entrepreneurship training, mentorship, access to essential resources, and provision of capital goods. Our goal is to create sustainable income opportunities, enhance healthy communities and nurture self-reliance—empowering young people to transform their own lives and uplift entire neighborhoods.
JJF ensures that communities have access to sustainable and dignified livelihoods through gainful, legal and structured income-generating activities.
Through sports, we shift vulnerable youth from being exploitable to champions of change.
The Jenga Jirani Initiative mobilises resources to aid vulnerable families in the informal settlements grossly affected by the Covid-19 pandemic.
