Kinara for Youth Evolution is a youth-led, Tanzanian Non-Governmental Organization committed to empowering young people—especially women and vulnerable groups—through education, health, economic opportunity, and civic action. Established as a Community-Based Organization in 2014 and officially registered as an NGO in 2018, Kinara is headquartered in Morogoro and works across urban and rural areas of the region.

We engage youth in hands-on learning, mentoring, entrepreneurship, and leadership development. From reducing teenage pregnancies through peer-led sexual health education, to equipping young mothers with skills in tailoring, cosmetology and culinary arts, our programs are designed to foster self-reliance, dignity, and opportunity.

Our teams include program officers, trainers, mentors, community volunteers, and youth leaders—working side-by-side with schools, local governments, and civil society. Every activity is rooted in participatory approaches and shaped by the voices of the communities we serve.

We are guided by a clear mission and theory of change, built on the belief that healthy, skilled, and confident youth are key to sustainable community development. Since our founding, Kinara has reached over 5,000 young people through education support, job training, mentoring, and advocacy.

Kinara is not only a service provider—it is a growing movement of young changemakers, working to create a more equitable and resilient Morogoro, one initiative at a time.
