ZanaAfrica (ZanaA) is a non-profit-making, non-governmental organization which began its formation in October 2007. Founded by Megan White, a social entrepreneur who has been empowering marginalized groups in Kenya for the past decade, ZanaA’s focus is on identifying and developing simple enterprise solutions to solve complex social problems plaguing countries throughout Africa.

 

ZanaA will be keeping adolescent Kenyan girls in school by developing environmentally friendly, locally-made sanitary pads and coordinating their free distribution. ZanaA also conducts empowerment groups for girls and boys to help them make informed decisions regarding their sexuality/life choices, and trains women in business and sales opportunities.

 

ZanaA’s vision is to see individuals, communities, and grass-roots organizations in Africa improving their world through self-led, sustainable, and replicable initiatives. Our mission is to provide individuals and organizations with the necessary tools to be the agents of their own societal change. Our organization believes in working as a team with individuals living in the communities to identify the challenges they face and develop appropriate solutions.
