Who We Are
Supporting Young African Leaders
The Kendita Initiative, founded in August 2020, is a non-profit educational organization working with a small cohort of multilingual African youth to provide leadership training. Our goal is to provide these young people with life skills designed to help them reach their goals which include: furthering their education, finding employment, starting their own business, or applying for further training or mentoring through programs such as the Mandela Washington Fellowship (MWF) and the Young African Leadership Initiative (YALI).
