Chalan Foundation is a Kenyan non-profit organization dedicated to empowering vulnerable youth across Kenya through a multi-pillar approach focused on life skills development, education access, psychosocial support, and economic empowerment. We work nationally, with a strong emphasis on supporting public day secondary schools, which exist in nearly every community and offer the greatest potential for scalable and inclusive impact.
At Chalan Foundation, we believe that lasting change starts with people who care. Our volunteers are the heartbeat of our mission—passionate individuals who give their time, skills, and heart to ensure every child has a chance to learn, grow, and thrive.
Whether you’re a teacher, counselor, mentor, designer, medical professional, student, or simply someone who wants to make a difference, there is a place for you at Chalan. From mentoring youth, supporting community programs, helping with events, or lending your expertise behind the scenes, your contribution matters.
Volunteering with Chalan is more than service—it’s a chance to stand for dignity, restore hope, and walk alongside communities in need.
Join us in lighting hope—one child, one village, one future at a time.
Chalan Foundation to me means Mother of the Mothers. Chalan has given the community equality such that those who are not capable, they give them hope. They really stood up for what my family couldn’t manage at that time.
Chalan Foundation is like a Home to me. Currently, I am pursuing a course Diploma in nutrition and diabetics, with the help of Chalan Foundation, it has changed my life.
Chalan Foundation to me is more of a Family. I was in total poverty, my Parents could not pay my fees, Chalan Foundation has been able to make my educational journey a success.
If I could describe Chalan Foundation, I could say hope, they gave me hope. They revived my education.
Chalan Foundation gave me Hope when I had lost all that hope.
