About Us

Shaping Empowered
Young African leaders

Faraja Africa Foundation (FAF) is a leading youth-led and youth-serving organization in East Africa. Since 2013, FAF has convened reflection spaces and platforms for young people to share their voices and advocate for fair and inclusive policies in Uganda, Kenya, and Tanzania. Our flagship programs like the EU Youth Sounding Board, National Youth Parliament/Vijana Assembly, International Youth camp, and East African Youth Parliament have been a safe platform to strengthen the political, economic, social, and cultural environment for young women and men while enhancing youth and women’s participation in policy making.

Creating exposure, building capacities, providing information and creating platforms and mechanisms for exchange will increase youth participation in democratic key decision-making processes.
