From Roots to Fruits – Mathare Roots Youth Group

Mathare Roots Youth Group is a community-based organization established in 2006 by a group of young men and women of the Mathare slums. Their main aim was try to bring “good fruits” from the slum, which would paint a better picture of our community – from Roots to Fruits! They pride themselves on vast experience in community development acquired from long-term involvement in our community. They currently run a youth center that serve as a meeting point for young people to come and share and exchange ideas on how to better their lives.
