WE BREAK DOWN BARRIERS SO YOUNG PEOPLE CAN TAKE CONTROL OF THE FUTURE.

By 2030, the number of people under the age of 30 living in Africa will exceed 1 billion and represent 65% of the continent’s population. We know this generation of young people can transform our global society for the better.

But right now, there’s a lot standing in their way; from disempowering internal narratives to restrictive social norms, to an economic system that excludes them altogether.

We are Shujaaz Inc. We break down barriers so that young people can take control of the future.

OUR VENTURES INSPIRE ENTERTAIN AND MOBILISE 7.5 MILLION YOUNG PEOPLE.

We are a network of social ventures based in Nairobi, Kenya. Our ventures connect young people with the information, skills and resources they need to take control; embedding them in a digital and real-world community that gives them the self-belief to succeed, in their context and on their terms.

We’ve proven that when young people take control of their lives, they create transformational change.

Digital fans in our network are taking control:

they earn $21 more a month than non-fans

Digital fans in our network are taking control:

they are 43% more likely to use condoms than non-fans
