We believe this generation of young people can transform our global society for the better. But right now, there’s a lot standing in their way; from disempowering internal narratives to restrictive social norms, to an economic system that excludes them altogether. That’s why we break down barriers so that young people can take control of the future. Our Emmy-award-winning team run our three social ventures: Shujaaz – our multimedia youth platform and East-Africa’s biggest youth brand; Hustla MBA – our digital learning community and our newest venture, a digital networking platform, set to launch in 2020. Our social ventures inspire, entertain and mobilise 7.5 million 15-24-year-olds across East Africa. Our network connects young people with the information, skills and resources they need to take control; embedding them in a digital and real-world community that gives them the self-belief to succeed, in their context and on their terms. Since launching in 2009, Shujaaz Inc has proven that when young people take control of their lives, they create transformational change. Regularly engaging 56% of young Kenyans and 15% of young Tanzanians, our network of social ventures creates internationally recognised impact. Fans that regularly engage with our platforms earn $21 more per month, are 43% more likely to use condoms and 2.4x more likely to delay childbirth, than non-fans. For every $1 we spend our network creates $10 of value.
