Welcome to High Fivers Foundation
A female-dominated, youth-led CBO of 3,000 members transforming communities across Kenya.
From tree planting campaigns and school mentorship visits to virtual webinars on cancer awareness and career preparedness — we don’t wait for change. We create it. Whether you’re joining as a member, partner, or volunteer — karibu sana. You’re home.
Built by youth. Led by women. Driven by purpose.
High Fivers Foundation is a registered CBO based in Kirinyaga County — and proudly one of Kenya’s most progressive youth organisations. Our leadership and membership are female-dominated, reflecting our belief that when young women lead, entire communities rise.
From our Cancer Awareness webinar with specialist Lawrence Gichini, to CV Writing training with career coach Lewis Kinoti, to hands-on tree planting — we don’t just talk about change. We make it happen.
Our December 2025 AGM brought the team together for strategic planning over three days. Our virtual forums have held elected leaders accountable. Our branded orange vests are recognized across Kirinyaga as a symbol of youth action.
