About Us
Equipping Youth with Skills!
Njogu-ini Career Association is a Christian-based nonprofit organization located in Njogu-ini, Nyeri County, Kenya. Founded by Milkah Githinji, our mission is to transform the lives of underprivileged youth—especially girls—by equipping them with practical skills, entrepreneurial mindsets, and a strong foundation in biblical values.
We exist to bridge the gap between potential and opportunity. Many of the young people we serve have completed high school but are unable to afford further education. Through our training programs and mentorship, we help them build meaningful careers, launch small businesses, and contribute to their families and communities with dignity.
Mission
To empower underprivileged youth with vocational skills, Christian mentorship, and sustainable solutions that promote self-reliance, employment, and godly stewardship.
Vision
A Christ-centered, self-sufficient, and skilled generation that uplifts communities and honors God through their work, service, and impact.
Our Values
At Njogu-ini Career Association, our work is more than just training—it’s a calling rooted in our unwavering commitment to biblical principles and human dignity. Our values shape how we serve, teach, and lead. They guide our students, staff, and partners in building a life of purpose, integrity, and impact.
These are the values we live by:

Integrity

Stewardship

Empowerment
We don’t just train hands—we raise leaders. By equipping youth with skills, confidence, and entrepreneurship, we help them realize their full God-given potential.
