Every shilling you give goes directly towards scholarships, health outreach, creative arts, and livelihood programmes for young people in Nairobi’s informal settlements Mukuru, Mathare, Korogocho, and Kibera.
U-Tena has been serving communities since 2006. Your support sustains the programmes that have changed thousands of young lives and continues the work for thousands more.
We use Donorbox to process donations securely. You can give once or set up a recurring gift every amount makes a real, measurable difference.
By joining U-Tena Youth Organization, you directly change the lives of youth in Nairobi’s informal settlements. Our volunteers raise awareness of family planning, sexual and reproductive rights, life planning, and responsible recreation through youth-friendly services.
Volunteers also spread awareness of STIs and non-communicable diseases among young people contributing directly to the UNAIDS 90-90-90 agenda: finding new HIV testers, supporting reactive clients into treatment, and helping suppress HIV viral loads.
Beyond community impact, you gain critical social entrepreneurship skills, professional networks, and hands-on NGO experience that shapes your own career and outlook.
