Many youth in the community of Githurai 45, a suburb near Nairobi, Kenya, aspire to grow their careers and become self-sufficient, but the cycle of poverty leaves them with limited access to education, social services and job skills.

Fountain Youth works to empower community members of Githurai 45 and provide them more education and entrepreneurship opportunities. Founded in 2009, the organization strives to “nurture, empower and transform local young people to be self-reliant, independent and key players in their community.”
