About Us

Our Asante Africa Foundation Kenya location is a fully registered nonprofit with local staff living and working within their own communities. 

Our belief in the empowerment of youth through education is put into practice in 343 schools across rural Kenya since 2007. 

Through our Youth Livelihood Program, Wezesha Vijana Program, and Accelerated Learning Program, families and communities become engaged and value the power of education.

Beyond the classroom curriculum, local staff, youth mentors and business entrepreneurs are part of a larger community that supports the youth in building self confidence, learning financial literacy, leadership skills, job readiness and more.
