Welcome To Dhahabu Themanini

Investing in the Future of the Family through the Youth

--About us--

Dhahabu Themanini Family Centre was founded in 2008 in Nairobi, Kenya, originating from a weekend activity organized by Mrs. Mary Ng'ang'a for her children and a few family friends. This initial gathering laid the foundation for what would become a structured program dedicated to youth mentorship and family development. ​

The organization's name, Dhahabu Themanini, meaning "Gold Eighty" in Swahili, symbolizes the preciousness and maturity associated with its mission. Over time, the initiative evolved into a comprehensive program emphasizing the development of young individuals through the principles of the 3 Cs: Character, Culture, and Christianity.

Guided by the motto "Investing in the Future of the Family through the Youth," Dhahabu Themanini has expanded its reach, offering mentorship, personal formation, and family-driven initiatives aimed at strengthening both individuals and families within the community.
