Our impact
Lives changed through talent, education, sport and platforms.
CYEF's strongest impact is seen when a young person moves from being unseen to being trained, mentored, showcased and connected to a real opportunity.
Monitoring & evaluation
Results-based delivery that can improve over time.
CYEF presents impact through program records, partner-supported activities, participant stories and evidence gathered from schools, sports activities, creative platforms and community outreach.
- Baseline and endline evaluations
- Feedback surveys in schools and programs
- Partner data and impact reports
- Community impact stories and testimonials
Evidence-led storytelling
The foundation combines verified program records with consented stories so donors and partners can understand both what changed and how that change happened.
Impact stories
Three examples of the pathway in action.
Enock: from St. Martin De Porres to a full scholarship.
Enock joined St. Martin De Porres School with promise but limited resources. Through education, hockey training and regular City Park tournament exposure, his talent became visible and earned him a full scholarship to Bungoma High School. His story represents one of seven boys transformed through CYEF's education and sports pathways.
Kartelo: incubated through the Comedy Club pathway.
Before becoming a household name, Kartelo was a young talent with a distinctive command of sheng and comedy. Chipukeezy Comedy Club gave him mentorship and consistent performance opportunities, then The Chipukeezy Show helped him grow into a regular co-host, comedian, radio host and content creator.
Stivo Simple Boy: a message found the platform it needed.
Stivo Simple Boy's song “Vijana Tuache Mihadarati” carried a strong anti-drug message but had barely reached an audience. After being given a platform on The Chipukeezy Show, the message grew into national visibility, eventually reaching millions and helping turn him into a household name.
