Ndoto is looking for individuals who are committed to our mission and vision and are excited to use their gifts and skill sets to that end. Please view our current openings below and contact us if you are interested at apply@ndoto.org.

BACKGROUND

Ndoto: For Africa’s Future is a Christ-centered community development organization that works in the Obunga slum of Kisumu, Kenya. Ndoto is a Swahili word meaning “dream.” We aim to give at-risk youth a chance to dream for themselves, their community, and the kingdom of God through education, discipleship, and development. As an organization, we believe that forgotten communities can be transformed from the inside out. Our dream is to see entire communities changed, not only individual lives transformed. We encourage our students to dream not only about what job they want to have, and who they want to become, but also how they can give back to their community. We invest in people as a whole and empower them to reach their potential, so they will be equipped to become the community leaders of tomorrow. Our primary programs include the sponsorship of bright and needy students’ education, Ndoto Community Church, Ndoto Sports, and Ndoto Academy, our private Christian school.
