So that your donation does good in the long term
Your donation expands nyendo’s international network and supports European students in their projects, which in turn promote sustainable initiatives in Kenya. Become part of our growing Nyendo family, in which schools, students and companies pursue a sustainable approach together. Instead of one-off cash donations to schools in need, nyendo enables help for self-help.
In concrete terms, this means that European students aged 13 to 17 set up their own companies with the help of experienced coaches in order to earn money. With the income they generate, these young people support long-term projects in the slums of Nairobi.
Your help has an immediate and lasting effect
What our students learn
With your support, we enable students like Tom to make a sustainable contribution to building a better world. Our Nyendo students learn a great deal during their time with us:
Self-efficacy
On the ground, the students see what their work and commitment at home achieve. This motivates them and creates a sense of achievement.
Sustainability
Nyendo projects are designed for the long term. The students provide help for self-help and thus lay the foundations for a lasting improvement in education and quality of life in the project area.
Social responsibility
The young people discover their scope for action in a globalised world. They see what they can achieve and change, and they get stuck in to create more social justice.
Social Entrepreneurship
Along the way, the students learn to think and act entrepreneurially. They run a company, make business decisions, express their creativity – and never lose sight of the social aspect.
