International Transformation Foundation (ITF) is an internationally youth led non-profit organization providing youth educational and self development programs, encompassing leadership and entrepreneurship, to harness creativity for a youth system that provides jobs, offering security, opportunities to grow, and contribute to the development of our communities.
Since its establishment ITF has been developing and operating youth
development programs to lead the youth of today as leaders with a strong heart
and mind as true workers of society with creative and progressive thinking. Our
current projects are:
1. Join the Pipe Project:
Installing sustainable tap water stations near playgrounds, city centers,
parks, schools and bus stations in Africa; for people to access clean tap water
whenever possible.
The project also works to bring awareness to the environmental impact of
production and waste of bottled water through two ventures:
- A water
kiosk at school: a school based and students managed business
selling clean tap water to community residents. It involves financing a
community school to set up an onsite water kiosk with specially designed
and sustainable products for children to transport tap water at home
straight from school. It is both an educational and profitable business –
teaching students’ business and entrepreneurial skills, and generating
much-needed income for schools.
- Public
drinking tap water station: In partnership with urban
Communities/Towns/Cities we install our non-breakable drinking water
station in Public places for people to access clean drinking tap water
free of charge.
2. Jijenge Kijana Fund: a youth
livelihood pathway offering microcredit, micro-saving and training which
enables ITF members to engage in productive and stable livelihoods
