Introducing Mizani
Hear it from our founder.
A balance of the whole person.
In one minute, Kate explains why Mizani looks after the whole person during a young person's formative years: their physical, social, emotional and mental health, so they know who they are and can thrive in their community and in society.

Who we are
Mizani is Swahili for balance. Balance is our life's work.
We believe a young person who is physically strong, emotionally grounded, socially connected and mentally clear has what they need to change their world.
"We are not trying to fix young people. We are creating the conditions for them to become fully themselves."Our model and the 4Cs
What we do
Three programs. One mission.
Every program is built around the whole person and shaped by the 4Cs: Culture, Community, Commerce and Conservation.
