Wanjiku Kironyo

Wanjiku Kironyo is the unflinching founder of Maji Mazuri Center.  Maji Mazuri, which means 'good water' in Swahili, has been working for over 25 years transforming the lives of hundreds  in the Mathare Valley slum and beyond. Under her courageous leadership and against all odds, the center has morphed into the epiphany of hope in a desolate place, establishing a micro business loan program,  head start school, youth project, two academic institutions, an organic farm and more.

Wanjiku's dream has always been to make a genuine difference in her homeland but it was the sight of an old woman hanging onto the feeble rafters of her crumbling shack to escape the forceful flood of an unexpected downpour that sparked her into immediate and irreversible action.  With only passion for a plan she left her prestigious position as a professor at the university and set off to found Maji Mazuri, a grassroots program which means good water. 25 years later this transformative center impacts over 400 people daily and boasts numerous successful program participants. With dedicated volunteers from around the world and a focus on empowerment, the center is now poised to build a 30,000 square foot community center on 5 floors to bring together all these programs, and more, under one, safe and secure roof.
