Global Youth Emerge
Global Youth Emerge is a non-profit, youth-focused organization founded in 2024 in Kenya. Our core mission is to empower young people between the ages of 15-34 through targeted support in financial access, education, mentorship, and skills training.
Recognizing the untapped potential of youth as key drivers of social and economic transformation, Global Youth Emerge was established as a charitable movement aimed at addressing the challenges that hinder youth from realizing their full potential.
We’re turning vision into action with new projects that empower, educate, and elevate young people everywhere.
This initiative focuses on empowering young mothers living in the Mukuru informal settlement in Nairobi, Kenya — one of the city’s largest slum communities where poverty, limited opportunities, and early motherhood often go hand-in-hand. The project aims to support these young women through a combination of education, life skills training, mentorship, and economic empowerment. It will offer access to counselling, health information, and peer support, while also helping mothers explore pathways back into schooling or vocational training. By building confidence, providing practical support and opening doors to income-generating opportunities, the program seeks to transform early motherhood from a barrier into a stepping stone toward long-term stability and self-reliance.
Global Youth Emerge is preparing to launch an upcoming youth entrepreneurship project aimed at empowering young people aged 15 to 34 to transform their ideas into viable, impactful businesses. The initiative will guide youth through every stage of the entrepreneurial journey from identifying community challenges and generating innovative business ideas, to receiving mentorship and training in business development, marketing, and financial management.
