We build safer communities in Mukuru kwa Reuben — through mentorship, mental health support, and empowerment for the youth and women who need it most.
Founded on August 30, 2017, The Rising Mukuru began with a single act of courage — creating a safe space for vulnerable children and young women in one of Nairobi's most underserved communities.
"She saw girls facing gender-based violence. She saw youth without mentorship. She saw potential being crushed by poverty — and she decided to act."
— On Beth Muturi, FounderToday, we run mentorship programs, mental health sessions, empowerment workshops, and community events — reaching young lives every single day in Mukuru kwa Reuben.

I felt completely lost until The Rising Mukuru found me. Now I have mentors who genuinely believe in me. I'm back in school and for the first time I have real dreams for my future. They didn't just help me — they saved my life.
As a single parent I struggled every day to keep my kids safe and fed. This organization gave us food, guidance, and a community that actually shows up. My children are thriving now. I'm thriving. That doesn't feel real to say.
I survived GBV and thought life was completely over for me. The Rising Mukuru helped me heal, taught me I have rights, and showed me I have power I never knew about. Now I'm helping other girls find that same strength.
Street life was the only world I knew. But Beth and the team didn't give up on me — not once. They gave me shelter, schooling, and belief when I had none of my own. Next year I enter university. Nobody saw that coming except them.
