How it all started
Nzumari Africa is a youth-focused community-based organization in Huruma with youths of various diverse backgrounds, gender and religious affiliations who make decisions, co create, design, implement programs and manage the daily functions of the organization that affect and influence lives of young people.
Nzumari Africa was conceptualized in 2000 as a project by the National council of churches of Kenya (NCCK) due to the challenges that young people were facing in Huruma and Mathare area such as high unemployment rate, HIV & AIDS, poor mental health, poor sanitation, perennial tribal conflicts and semi illiteracy and illiteracy.
Being in existence since the last 18 years, the organization has evolved from a project to a youth group and later in 2012 it became a community-based organization working in other informal settlements of Nairobi such as Mathare, Huruma, Korogocho, Kariobangi and Dandora.
Nzumari Africa is committed to the social and economic empowerment of youths in informal settlements.
