Learn More About Border Hub Kenya

Driven By Passion

The Border Hub is a youth and women-led community development organization formed in 2018 and formally registered in 2020. We are domiciled in Busia Kenya with operations in western Kenya and programmatic outflows to Busia Uganda.

Our mission is to enable women, girls and young people to gain skills, information, confidence, and linkages they need to prosper in life, career, and business.

We provide a safe, youth-friendly and gender inclusive social and educational space for women and young people to access information, learn, innovate, and build their enterprises. We expose them to relevant right information on policies, regulations and other issues that affect them through the weekly dialogue programs, exhibitions, films, and other existing projects alongside partners. The Hub serves as an incubation of labor skills and enterprise development.

Promoting Valuable Education for Busia Women and Youths

We intentionally choose to work with women and youth in all their diversities because there is a necessity to address the needs and the challenges they are exposed to at the border town of Busia. Busia being a border town has exposed a lot of young people, women and girls to different forms of exploitation including difficulties in doing cross-border trade, violent extremism where due to the porous nature of borders young people are taken advantage of for their lack of sustainable livelihoods, Gender-based violence due to the highly patriarchal social and cultural beliefs which then limits women from realizing their fullest potential.
