Our Story

Nkwasa Foundation was founded in 2022 by enthusiasts who saw a critical need to support our youth. Faced with high unemployment and limited opportunities, we decided to act. We started with a small workshop in a rented room, and thanks to supporters like you, we've grown into a beacon of hope for hundreds.

Our mission is simple: to empower every young person with the tools they need to build a self-sufficient and fulfilling life.
