About - NextGen Global Initiative

The formation of NeGI responds to critical challenges facing Kenyan society and the globe. With youth comprising the largest segment of the population, unemployment, underdevelopment, and lack of mentorship have left many young people disoriented and disempowered. School dropouts, drug and substance abuse, early pregnancies, and mental health struggles continue to affect both urban and rural youth. Through school-based peer mentorship clubs, life skills training, leadership development, and psychosocial support, NeGI addresses these pressing needs with relevant, impactful programs tailored to the Kenyan context.

In addition to empowering the youth, NeGI champions the rights and well-being of children and adolescents by distributing school supplies, offering educational support, and advocating for girls’ dignity through menstrual hygiene and Sexual and Reproductive Health and Right (SRHR) training. The organization’s efforts are especially critical in marginalized areas where access to basic education and mentorship is limited. NeGI also engages parents, teachers, and community leaders in shaping environments that nurture values, discipline, and purpose among young people.

By promoting peacebuilding, gender equality, mental health awareness, environmental conservation, and community development, NeGI plays a vital role in shaping a more just and hopeful society. Its structure—comprising a committed leadership team, trained volunteers, and active school networks—ensures programs are both scalable and sustainable. In partnership with stakeholders from civil society, education, government, and faith-based institutions, NeGI stands as a beacon of transformation, responding directly to the gaps in Kenya’s social, educational, and leadership landscape.”
