ABOUT Our work in Kenya

Buzz Women launched in Kenya in 2025 through partnership with Emerging Leaders Foundation-Africa (ELF-Africa). Together, we strengthen women’s economic participation through practical training in financial literacy, entrepreneurship, and leadership – brought directly to where women are.

We currently work with women in the urban informal settlement of Kiambiu in Nairobi and in rural communities in Kajiado West. Building on ELF-Africa’s mission of inclusive governance and active citizenship, the program enables women to build confidence, develop skills, and step into leadership in their everyday lives.

OUR PROGRAMS

Our training programs focus on confidence building, financial literacy, entrepreneurship, personal leadership, regenerative practices, and community participation. Each designed to respond to real community needs.

Inner Strength

Our foundational program builds confidence and practical financial skills. Women learn about saving, budgeting, debt avoidance, and household decision making in group sessions brought directly to their villages.

Inspirational Fellowship

This program trains women to become community anchors. They are trusted role models who inspire change from within through peer learning and lived example.

Buzz Beehives

Women gather in sisterhood to learn together, solve problems collectively, and spark community change. These powerful gatherings are facilitated by trained Anchor Women.

KEY RESULTS

We measure our impact rigorously and the results speak for themselves. Through our proven methodology we help women build confidence, strengthen livelihoods, launch businesses, and step into local leadership.

MEET OUR PARTNER

Building synergies and working together, is the surest way to sustainable development and real transformation. The collaboration between Buzzwomen and Emerging Leaders Foundation-Africa is a win-win. It’s a win for the organizations, the women and the communities. You see, two rivers meeting do not lose themselves, they become something wider, deeper, and unstoppable. Our partnership is evidence that when we share conviction, we deepen and multiply impact.

Buzz Origins – how it all started: “Everybody deserves a dream”

When we started Buzz Women, we wanted to make a difference. Our tiny drop in the ocean. ‘If they cannot go to school, let’s take the school to them’ – the idea of a school on wheels was born.
