Hope for Kenya Slum Adolescents Initiative (HKSAI) is a youth focused non-profit and humanitarian organization dedicated to empowering low-income Kenyan adolescent girls and young women living in the informal settings. We achieve this by investing in their education, health, skills training, life skills development, and job prospects. We envision a future where these young women are equipped to become confident leaders and agents of positive change in their communities.

We provide adolescent sex workers with education and skills development and facilitate employment and volunteer engagements.

We strengthen local structures and support systems through community building and education programming.

We advocate for policies that empower adolescents in slums to live fulfilled lives through at local, national and international levels.
