The Jonathan Jackson Foundation (JJF) is committed to helping enhance the lives of youth in the informal settlements of Nairobi through its business-building program (Jenga Bizna Mtaani) and sports initiative (Bakee Mtaani).

Grateful for partners who go the distance. 🙏 I&M Foundation has been with us through every chapter of #JengaBiznaMtaani — funding capital goods, backing communities, building futures. This is partnership done right. #EconomicEmpowerment #JonathanJacksonFoundation

Economic growth doesn't start in boardrooms. It starts with a group of women, a carwash machine, and the will to work. This Labour Day, we celebrate every worker building Kenya from the ground up. 💪 #LabourDay2026 #JobCreation #JonathanJacksonFoundation #WorkersThatBuild
