With a focus on youth and a commitment to improving health, social, and economic conditions for all Kibera, we have set our strategic goals with several ambitious growth targets for the next few years. By maintaining a participatory focus, continuing to invest in youth, and forming key partnerships, the future is full of possibility and growth.
Building a sustainable organization
Our Goals for a Thriving Kibera
Leadership Development
To combat abject poverty and promote peace in Kibera through innovative, locally-led, and dynamic youth leadership programs.
Health Services
To provide high-quality and affordable healthcare services in Kibera and to design new public health interventions in partnership with the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and other key institutions.
Economic Development
To provide educational opportunities, job training, mentorship, and employment for youth.
Responsible Research
To build connections, create knowledge, and share effective practices between Kibera and other informal settlements.
Growing Kibera
By 2020 and Beyond
Expand Health Services
Expanding Tabitha Medical Clinic to a Tier 3 medical facility will enable the clinic to provide comprehensive maternity services.
Increase Youth Participation
By increasing enrollment in the Sports for Peace & Development, Angaza, and Girls' Empowerment programs, we can reach up to 5,000 more youth in the community.
Strengthen Collaborations
By growing our partnerships with UNC Gillings School of Global Public Health, UNC School of Medicine, and other professional schools and university programs, we can guide evidence-based service delivery and best practices.
Measure Impact
Introducing comprehensive monitoring and evaluation metrics for all programs will allow us to measure the impact we are making on the health, social, and economic status of all Kiberans.
Increase Capacity
By doubling our annual operating budget by 2020, we will build capacity for increased fundraising directly from Kenya.
