The Mwelu Foundation offers a range of programs aimed at empowering youth through education, arts, and life skills. These programs include:

The project has enabled young individuals to articulate narratives regarding their daily experiences through the use of cameras, thereby allowing them to convey their perspectives from the slums to a global audience.

Focuses on storytelling through written words, encouraging participants to share their experiences and community stories.

Weekly training sessions in photography for students from local schools.

Due to the insufficient infrastructure in Mathare, which encompasses inadequate housing, roads, educational institutions, sanitation facilities, drainage systems, and electricity, the Mwelu Foundation has initiated the Slum Libraries and Study Halls program.

A girls-only initiative addressing gender-specific challenges such as early pregnancies, school dropouts, and access to sanitary products.

Covers topics such as leadership, communication, teamwork, and SRHR. These sessions aim to build self-confidence and prepare participants for adulthood.

Engages youth in projects that tackle social issues in Mathare, helping them contribute to positive change in their community.

Collaborates with groups like Femme International to address SRHR and provide essential resources, including menstrual products.
