Shamiri Institute is a data-driven public benefit organization that uses cutting-edge social science research and deep contextual knowledge of the communities that we work with to build a future where young people can actualize their life potential. Shamiri means “thrive” in Kiswahili.
Because mental health prevents many young people from realizing their life outcomes, our current priority is to develop and implement tools that improve the mental health and wellbeing of Africa’s youths.
Our current focus is expanding our impact across Africa because, in a continent where half the population is 19 years or younger, our potential for impact is enormous.
