Our Story

Rooted in Community. Built for Impact.

FACT began as a grassroots self-help initiative in 2019, driven by a deep passion to empower youth and women in underserved communities across Nakuru. After five years of building trust, delivering results, and refining our approach, we formalised as a registered organisation in 2025 — bringing fresh institutional capacity to an already-proven model of change.

Vision

A peaceful, inclusive, and empowered society where youth and women thrive through innovation, leadership, and resilience.

Mission

To empower youth and women through peacebuilding, civic engagement, digital innovation, entrepreneurship, and holistic well-being for sustainable community transformation.

Core Values

Inclusivity
Innovation
Integrity

The Awards convene entrepreneurs, investors, government, and civil society to recognise high-potential businesses, catalyse market linkages, and demonstrate the measurable impact of FACT's integrated enterprise development programming.

For donors and partners, the Awards represents a rare proof-point: a community-led platform with demonstrated convening power, institutional credibility, and measurable reach across the Rift Valley's entrepreneurial ecosystem — sustained over four consecutive years without interruption.
