About us

Inua means to lift.

Inua Life Foundation is a community organisation rooted in Aldai, Nandi County. We work alongside families, schools and local leaders to open doors for young people and to keep our community healthy, connected and proud of where it comes from.

Nandi is the home of champions. Talent here starts on school fields and village paths. We want every child who laces up, or runs barefoot, to have a fair shot at going as far as their legs and their books can carry them.
