Social Impact Institute-Africa We are a social enterprise that exists to make a positive difference in Kenya & beyond. We do this by stimulating the growth of micro and small businesses.

Our vision 'To transform livelihoods in Kenya one County at a time and in Africa, one country at a time' arises from the belief that no one is fully empowered unless they have the ability to generate the money they need to become self-reliant. We see community forest associations and forest based enterprises (especially community based projects) as the ideal vehicle for the sustainable empowerment

of people. We give preference to smallholder farmers, enterprises benefiting women and youth, rural communities living adjacent to forests, high poverty nodes and enterprises that have a high impact in terms of job creation. Our dream is to unlock Africa's potential by using our own talents, experience and collective energy to design and deliver initiatives that make positive change happen. We specialize in economic, social and environmental development. We provide these services to Corporate, Government, Civil Society and International donor clients. We do this by designing and implementing effective training programs that support the growth of businesses and community based organizations across Kenya, especially those that rural based, youth focused and female owned. We implement much needed change in Kenya in an effective and professional manner.

Do not let selfish men or greedy interests skin your country of its beauty, its riches or its romance. ” We must return to nature and nature's god."

conflict is a serious disagreement or argument, typically a protracted one.
Dealing with conflict early is usually easier, because positions are not so entrenched, others are less likely to have started to take sides, and the negative emotions are not so extreme. The best way to address a conflict in its early stages is through negotiation between the participants.

Peacebuilding activities address the root causes or potential causes of violence, create a societal expectation for peaceful conflict resolution and stabilize society politically and socioeconomically.Youth play a big role in peacebuilding which is a crucial component of national development.

time, effort and commitment. The relationships
that we create are strongest when built upon
trust, knowledge and common goals. Everyone
involved is impacted in a positive way through
the creation of powerful relationships and
collaborations. Such relationships are critical
for helping young people improve their life.

By demography, the 'youth bulge' is the reality of our time. On the one hand, large numbers of young people furnished with economic opportunity, and that buy into the Kenyan dream, present immeasurable potential for growth. On the other hand, if not well managed, a large number of idle, frustrated youth pose significant risk for the survival of the State. They can be drawn to ideologies that undermine the legitimacy of the State and can be used to destroy our democratic dispensation.
Providing youth with entrepreneurial skills will help them to gain self employment.
