Millennium Fellowship Project: KujeMoja
Youths are the future and with a little help, they can positively change their community and contribute to the development of their Country.
KujeMoja, a combination of two words Kujenga Pamoja ("Building together"), is a platform and safe place for high school students to get tools, skills, mentoring and courage to determine their future.
It is a career pathway education to future vocation venture by connecting young girls with current career professionals and mentors from various industries through programs like workshops, talks, and coaching events. We aim to deliver deep immersion focusing on soft skills to develop a critical design thinking and entrepreneurial mindset to find real solutions to their problems.
Through that we hope to change lives of 150 girls and boys by the end of December 2020 through sessions and focused group online or offline meetings if possible. Our goal is to partner with schools and industries to achieve greater impact. We want to be part of the change by helping young girls to realize their dreams and build their future.
