Wilsen Initiative operates under the three pillars as follows; Project – ICE;
INSPIRE: We shall organize and attend motivational sessions at location that shall help the youth improve their self esteem for example attending sessions at renowned places which many youths from informal settlement dread to visit or even hardly get a chance to visit such places.
CONNECT: Currently we have Mathare North Rangers F.C which was established in 2011 with the view of nurturing talents and provide leadership skills using the platform to get the youth from indulging in vices that hinders them from developing their talents. The unique aspiration of the club isn’t to play in the premier league but to use the team as a torch for hope in connecting all the tribes in Kenya staring with younger generation. We shall connect with schools, institutions, organization around Kenya especially connecting the urban youth with youth in the rural set ups and also urban to urban connection through exchange programs which will involve football friendly matches and other activities.
EDUCATE: We intend to share skills and transfer knowledge from generations through a curriculum developed by experts from diverse backgrounds especially from the informal settlements who have made it to greener pasture in life, the idea is into tap local solutions and understanding from people who live or used to live in the community that faces challenges that we shall work towards uplifting.
