Dedicated to transforming lives by empowering communities and vulnerable groups
Ushindi Empowerment Group is a women-led community-based organization dedicated to transforming lives by empowering communities and vulnerable groups.
We do this by partnering with and supporting grassroots leaders, women, and youth-led organizations to build their capacity to meet some of their community’s most complex challenges. We believe in building capacity and the pursuit of initiatives that create a safer, more equitable, and more sustainable future for Africa. We will continue to invest in strategic partnerships in Kenya and beyond.
Our Focus Areas
We work with communities and community leaders in four focus areas: Economic Empowerment, Gender Justice, The Creative Economy, and Climate Action. Through our work, we seek to improve livelihoods in order to guarantee economic empowerment, health and safety, reduce inequalities, improve education, and protect our environment.
We equip women and youth with tools, skills, and networks to grow thriving businesses and create an entrepreneurial ecosystem.
We seek to pursue a free, fair, and equal society free of gender-based violence and discrimination.
We aim to cut emissions and boost community resilience through climate change preparedness and sustainable practices.
We empower creatives by providing sustainable solutions to grow their craft and turn their passion into profit.
