Impacting Youth Trust- Internships/Mentorship Opportunities

Impacting Youth Trust (I.Trust) was created in August 2013 by three individuals who driven by different reasons decided to start a home grown solution to the youth’s problems. They recognized a big need for a trust that would truly be started and run by people who understood the needs of the youth in the low income and marginalized areas. All three individuals grew up in the Mathare constituency in different generations and have passionately maintained their roots in the area.
