About

The Johari Foundation – Empowerment through opportunity

For some years now the Johari Foundation has been building social enterprise and community programmes to help vulnerable children and young adults in Kenya escape the poverty trap. We aim to provide the children with the necessary skills to help them build a positive future for themselves and their families. Our Miale programmes not only satisfy and nurture the most basic needs of food and shelter but they also support and nurture academic and vocational development.

The Foundation relies upon the support of our enthusiastic team of business partners and volunteers to secure the success of our Miale programmes. We are extremely lucky to have knowledgable and experienced people based in Kenya and the UK. Their guidance guarantees the best use of investment to create self-sustainable opportunities like the Johari Social Enterprise which integrated with our range of social development opportunities helps children and young adults build a better future.

Through investing in economic opportunities, as well as care and education, the Foundation's programmes are focused on becoming fully self-sustainable. A great example of this approach is the Johari Apprenticeship Scheme, which provides opportunities to vulnerable young women – teaching them skills to build a living for themselves and their families.

Working in partnership

The Foundation's partner model enables people from a cross-section of society in both the UK and Kenya to contribute to the Foundation's Social Development and Social Enterprise Programmes

The partner model also enables the Foundation to tap into a wealth of knowledge and expertise of highly skilled and specialised people who work in each of the partner companies supporting the Foundation.
