PendoAmani Youth Organization is a registered NGO in Kenya with a focus on youth development operating in Juja. We work for youth and with youth to cultivate passion into skills, build and raise the platforms necessary for today’s young leaders to flourish; we do this through inspiring youth to actively take part in their own development and through skills development such as attending free Computer and Media skills training, Music, Dance and Sports. Our aim is to provide holistic programs by creating a learning platform for young people to become leaders with knowledge, skills and tools to transform their own communities.

Our approach and programs are realized through voluntary leadership development and intercultural exchange programs that include building youth leadership skills, organizing workshops, trainings, exchange and exposure visit to learn and expose them to new and diverse experiences, peoples and ideas. We also operate a learning center where children and youth access academic materials and books.

Through the different programs, PendoAmani Youth Organization seeks to address issues impacting the community including substance misuse, youth crime and anti-social behavior, unemployment, lack of training and employment opportunities. It also places strong emphasis on the health and social welfare of the community.
