Hatua Likoni is a community-led NGO dedicated to helping young people from poor families gain the skills and credentials they need to contribute to and benefit from Kenya's growing economy. We do so by providing scholarships, mentoring and career guidance to Likoni's most gifted students from needy families.
The Likoni Scholarship Fund awards scholarships to top students from poor families within Likoni to ensure that our community's talented youth gain the skills and credentials they need to enter the modern economy. Weekly mentoring sessions focused on decision making, skill building and career development prepare our students for life after school.
Likoni's Community Library offers students a well-resourced place to learn and study. The library is equipped with over 4,500 books and 10 computers, and is a forum for community trainings.
The Likoni Community Football League, led by local coaches and supported by Hatua Likoni, organizes weekly football (soccer) matches for over 1,000 kids age 12-16.
Hatua is a swahili word meaning A Step Forward. Hatua helps Likoni step forward by fostering home-grown development that empowers individuals to determine their own future and the future of Likoni.
