About us
Built where it's needed most
Peter Karenge Ng'ang'a Foundation works village by village in Kenya — pairing books and technology with the relationships that make opportunity stick.
Our mission
Opportunity that stays in the community
Across rural Kenya, talent is everywhere but access is not. Schools open without a single library. Capable young people finish their studies with nowhere to apply their skills. The PKN Foundation exists to close that gap — not with one-off handouts, but with durable infrastructure and relationships.
We deliver books, build connected IT hubs, support recovery and belonging, and open bridges to mentorship and remote work. Each programme reinforces the others, so a child who learns to read can later train in our lab and earn a remote income from the same village.
What we stand for
Books. Bytes. Belonging. Bridges.
Four commitments that shape every decision we make.
Books
Curated libraries in schools that have none, so literacy and curiosity have somewhere to grow.
Bytes
Starlink-powered IT hubs that bring reliable internet and digital skills to the village.
Belonging
Recovery circles and community groups where no one has to face hardship in isolation.
Bridges
Mentorship and remote-work pathways that turn local skill into dignified, lasting income.
Resilience
We show up — through the hard days too
Building in a rural village means weather, power, and logistics don't always cooperate. When storms flooded the lab, the team raised the equipment, swept out the mud, and had students back at the screens within days.
That persistence is the point. Infrastructure only changes lives if it keeps running — so we invest in the people and upkeep that keep the doors open.
