Over the years, kiwanja.net has worked with a wide range of local, national and international social innovators, students, entrepreneurs and non-profit organisations, providing them with a wide range of short- and long-term advisory, support, consultancy and pro-bono services. We’ve also carried out our own internal writing, speaking and software development projects, some of which you’ll find below.
In May 2024, kiwanja.net relaunched with a new focus on coaching and mentoring social innovators and entrepreneurs, and promoting mindfulness in social change work.
