Caren Wakoli

Caren Wakoli, the founder of the Emerging Leaders Foundation (ELF), is one such remarkable individual. Her journey is an inspiring testament to the power of one person’s vision to create lasting change. Born and raised in Kenya, Caren recognized the immense potential within her country’s youth population, despite the many challenges they faced. It is for this reason that she set out on a mission to nurture this potential and transform it into tangible impact.

Caren’s vision gave birth to the Emerging Leaders Foundation, a non-profit organization that has since become a cornerstone of youth empowerment in Kenya. Through ELF, she has provided young people with the tools, mentorship, and resources needed to become leaders and changemakers. Caren’s work extends beyond leadership development. She is a vocal advocate for gender equality and social justice, championing the rights of women and marginalized communities in Kenya.
