Our Story
Founded in 2023, Kiongozi Platform was established with a clear mission: to prepare the next generation of Kenyan leaders by providing accessible resources, community education, and opportunities in skills development, entrepreneurship, and climate action.
The name "Kiongozi" means "leader" in Swahili, reflecting our commitment to nurturing leadership qualities among Kenyan youth. We believe that empowered young people drive positive change and that inclusivity leads to stronger, more sustainable communities.
Through our platform, powered by the Sheria ya Vijana project, we work to digitally bridge the gap between youth and leadership opportunities, creating pathways for meaningful participation in Kenya's democratic future.
