About Us
We are a community‑based organisation in Gitite Village, North Kinangop, Nyandarua County, Kenya, empowering children and young people through literacy, digital inclusion, and sports. We create safe, inspiring spaces where learning, creativity, and confidence can grow — opening doors to lifelong opportunity.
“From barefoot walks to building bridges — this is the power of community.”
Alfred Waithaka, our founder, grew up in Gitite Village, North Kinangop — a childhood marked by resilience, hope, and long walks on red soil. Every morning, he travelled 10 kilometres barefoot to school. That daily journey, taken in the cold, the mist, and the morning dew, shaped his determination and planted a quiet dream: that one day, children in Gitite would have access to quality education right within their own community.
Years later, Alfred returned home carrying that dream with him. What he found strengthened his resolve — classrooms still without books, children still walking long distances, and a community still yearning for opportunity. He envisioned a space where learning could flourish: a community library that would open doors to knowledge, digital literacy, and empowerment for over 250 pupils and the wider Gitite community.
What began as one man’s vision soon grew into a collective movement. Through Harambee — the Kenyan spirit of pulling together — neighbours, families, friends, and well‑wishers joined hands. Together, they laid the foundation for the Gitite Community Library and the broader community‑based organisation that now champions literacy, digital inclusion, and youth development.
