Advocating for social justice among the youth, women and persons with disabilities while integrating technology and data
About us
Uamuzi Foundation is a social enterprise dedicated to advocating for social justice, specifically focusing on the empowerment of youth, women, and persons living with disabilities to achieve equal economic, political, and social rights. Our approach integrates technology and data to address various critical areas including civic engagement, education, leadership, environmental conservation, and peacebuilding. We are deeply committed to aligning our efforts with the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly emphasizing gender equality (Goal 5), industry and innovation (Goal 9), climate action (Goal 13), peace, justice, and strong institutions (Goal 16), and partnerships for the goals (Goal 17). At the core of our foundation lies a dynamic Hub comprising an engineering academy and an innovation lab. The academy aims to refine the skills of young developers through exposure to real-time projects and collaborative team setups. Simultaneously, our innovation lab nurtures projects that effectively tackle prevailing societal issues. Within this hub, we've developed the Uamuzi social networking platform, meaning "decision" in Swahili, with a specific aim to democratize youth participation in governance at all levels in Kenya. This platform facilitates meaningful engagement among youth, enables interactions with their representatives, provides timely access to credible information, and fosters an environment where individuals can freely voice their concerns. Furthermore, our foundation operates a dedicated volunteering group, engaging young individuals in addressing community challenges to transform the pace and nature of local development. This program not only benefits society by addressing pressing issues but also fosters trust, solidarity, and participation among individuals, ultimately creating opportunities for collective growth.

Last week, I had the honor of being featured on NTV's TechOver, a program by the Nation Media Group, where I shared the remarkable journey of Uamuzi including the challenges we’ve encountered and how we’ve overcome them. I spotlighted the significant impact of our Engineering Academy, led by Antony Gakuru, the crucial support we've received from Microsoft, and the milestone recognition we received in UNDP’s focus note. Furthermore, I discussed the importance of our newly signed Memorandum of Understanding with the European Business Institute of Luxembourg, which represents a significant advancement in our mission. During the feature, I also explored the robust data security measures we've put in place and our exciting plans to integrate state-of-the-art technologies like Machine Learning Algorithm and Blockchain, in collaboration with Dr. James Mulli. These innovations are set to significantly enhance our platform’s capabilities. Moreover, I underscored the vital role that Uamuzi will play in empowering youth to fully understand their rights and responsibilities as active citizens, through civic education, in collaboration with like-minded partners.
