Youth Promise Kenya

About Us

Youth Promise is a non-profit ministry located in Embu, Kenya at the foot of Mt. Kenya. We run an after-school program and summer camp model with a focus on digital literacy. The goal is to build a computer training and information access center where the underprivileged children and youth can get an opportunity to better their lives.

Background
Just imagine going through the elementary and high school without touching a computer keyboard or learning how to use it! That’s the challenge most aspiring scholars have to overcome in the rural and some urban areas of Kenya. Currently less than 21% of Africans have access to the internet. In a global world, that puts children in Embu in danger of being left behind in a rapidly changing world. How can we better improve living standards in efforts to fight poverty, if we don’t create opportunities for them?

Our Vision: To impact the young generation with technology and the word of Truth.

Our Mission: To invest in the youth through education, technology and spiritual growth for a better society.
