Our History

DARAJA 360 is born

The project was started by Zablon Kuria with the help of Regina Kamoche, who began a feeding program for street families. Over time they transitioned to rehabilitaion and eventaully to vocational training to enable the women to pursue a better future.

In December 2018, Nakuru 316 was rebranded as DARAJA 360 to emphasize our aim to safely bridge the women, children, and youth over to a meaningful livelihood and to expand our reach to other populations( People living with disabilities and youths from impoverished backgrounds).

Empowerment 

Holistic transformation of lives, that’s what it’s about – over time, Daraja 360 has worked tirelessly in Kenya to this aim – to establish enduring and sustainable solutions to poverty in Kenya. Daraja 360 was launched as a phase four program in 2018 December to provide a safe space to transition vulnerable families, youth, and by empowering them to lead decent and sustainable lives.

DARAJA 360 operations

Daraja 360 focus has been on two thematic areas. First, programs that help the children transition to youth and then young adults by providing mentoring, counseling, and training in both academic and life skills while focusing on undeserved areas by schools, homes, and churches.

Secondly, we have assisted these young adults and mothers to become entrepreneurs by providing training, job opportunities, investment, and a platform for building their own, sustainable small businesses.
