The Gichina Trust is a registered non-profit organisation in Kenya with a bold vision: transformed lives, communities, and the environment through collaborative philanthropy. We work from the ground up co-creating solutions with communities across Sub-Saharan Africa. Our approach is not about imposing change but igniting it from within, by nurturing local potential, protecting natural heritage, and investing in systems that serve generations.
Our mission is to mobilise philanthropists from across the globe to provide life-changing solutions in education, the environment, and leadership. Every project we undertake reflects a partnership between community voices, technical experts, and values-aligned collaborators. We believe true impact is only possible when those most affected are also at the centre of design, decision-making, and delivery.
We are guided by values that keep our work grounded and our partnerships strong. We uphold accountability to our communities and partners, foster collaboration that multiplies effort and deepens trust, and champion inclusion that celebrates diversity and unity. Innovation drives our solutions as we meet today’s challenges with tomorrow’s tools, while sustainability ensures our work remains relevant and resilient for future generations. These values shape every initiative, from how we lead to how we learn.
Our impact areas are designed to unlock enduring transformation. By strengthening social infrastructure in education, advancing STEM learning, restoring ecosystems through conservation, supporting a scholarship fund for vulnerable learners, and nurturing emerging African leaders, we are creating platforms where young people thrive, communities rise, and leadership is reimagined. These focus areas are not stand-alone efforts. They are part of a larger movement to build a just, inclusive, and regenerative future.
The Gichina Trust is a Pan-African philanthropic organisation advancing quality STEM education, environmental conservation, and leadership development.
Be the difference. Invest in a future shaped by education, conservation, and ethical leadership.
