Our Story & Vision

Empowering Voice of the Community (EVOC) was established in 2018. The initiative originated in the target communities during field activities, where its founders observed the need to help marginalized youth and women achieve self‑sustainability, starting with Kibera slums.

After problem identification and prioritization, programs were developed to support these youth, structured based on priority needs and demand from the community. We have a professional, experienced team committed to ensuring our projects focus on equipping marginalized youth and women with skills and knowledge that enhance their capacity to engage in meaningful socio‑economic activities.

Our Vision

To create a conducive environment for the marginalized youth and women in Nairobi slums to be self‑sustainable, through socio‑economic empowerment.

Our Commitment

We are committed to empowering marginalized youth and women through non‑formal education, entrepreneurship, skills training, and support — making us the partner of choice for poverty reduction, social equity, and development out of ignorance.

Our Impact Areas

Through education, skills training, health awareness and talent nurturing, EVOC transforms lives in Kibera and beyond. Each program directly addresses the needs of illiterate youth, unemployed women, and vulnerable groups.
