Our Vision

Prosperity Institute aims to empower the youth from Kariobangi North and other densely populated areas of Nairobi.

We aim to offer them skills they can use to create employment opportunities for themselves and others. These will turn them into productive adults who are self-sufficient.

To achieve this, Prosperity Institute charges as small an amount as possible for tuition and also sponsors capable students who are financially disadvantaged. Presently, we are working to create partnerships with several local development organizations such as World Vision. Financial contributions from organizations as well as individuals will go a long way in helping us serve the Kariobangi North community as effectively as possible. This will be achieved through scholarships for deserving students as well helping the school expand without compromising on the quality of education the students get.

Please contact the Director to find out how you may be involved in providing life changing opportunities for the youth of Kariobangi North, Nairobi!

As always, we urge you to follow our motto, 'Arise and prosper'!!

What we do...

Prosperity Insitute is the brainchild of Purity Wanjiku Kabura. Started barely two months ago, it has grown to provide nine youths from the Kariobangi North area of Niarobi with dressmaking, hairdressing and computer skills.
These are youths who have been left behind in Kenya's capitalist march and cannot afford some of the higher costing colleges and universities in the city.
A former resident of Kariobangi North, Purity Kabura says she wanted to so something that "could have along lasting effect for some of the people who are really needy." She deliberately avoided creating a high-end vocational college so that she could specifically cater for those who are financially disadvantaged.
