About

The Mzalendo Halisi Foundation is a more-than-profit transformational Social Enterprise that aspires to engage in activities that are geared towards fostering a socio-cultural order that binds Kenyans by engaging in social and cultural activities that are a celebration of being Kenyan. We believe that there is a strength that comes from diversity, and from unity and it is time to channel it positively for the enhancement of our Nationhood.

Our commodity is attitude change for the whole nation. We partner with the government and government institutions, professional associations, NGOs, CBOs, youth organizations, corporate institutions, faith-based organizations, foundations, INGOs, individuals and many other players engaged in positively looking for solutions to our challenges as a nation to creatively chart new and exciting ways that are profitable as well as ethical and socially transformational.

We intend to change the way Kenyans think and react to challenges and situations by engaging in out-of-the-box solutions seeking for solving traditional challenges. We are seeking to tap into the Kenyan indefatigable spirit of enterprise, hard work, creativity and innovation plus a ‘never give up’ attitude. We are not aiming to reinvent the wheel, we just want to look at our challenges and possible solutions from a different viewpoint.

Desired Social Impact

Inspired by the 4th Guiding Principle of Kenya vision 2030, Mzalendo Halisi Foundation aims to engage in interventions that will contribute to the formulation, popularization and adoption of a generally accepted national set of values and social institutions that promote equity, national unity and cohesion, and an attitude change necessary to combat the vices that inhibit national development like corruption, impunity and negative ethnicity.

Specifically: We recognize that it is crucial at this stage of national rebirth to set a character benchmark for current and future generations of Kenyans.
