Founded in 2018, Jitolee Voluntary Service is a grassroots organization based in Kariobangi, Nairobi, dedicated to empowering vulnerable youth through practical vocational skills. Our programs provide young people with the tools, training, and opportunities they need to build sustainable livelihoods. Since our inception, we have played a vital role in tackling pressing social challenges — from reducing unemployment and crime rates to addressing teenage pregnancies and other community issues. By equipping youth with skills and confidence, we foster a safer, more prosperous future for our neighborhoods.
We are always in need of tools to facilitate our training centres so that many of our youth can benefit from the training.
