We’re turning 4, and you’re invited to help us grow our movement!
From bold dreams to real change, Lightup Impact has empowered youth leaders across East Africa for 4 years. Now, we’re raising €10,000 (1.5M KSH) to take it even further.
Donate now to help fuel the next wave of grassroots leaders shaping a just and sustainable future.
Why it matters...
Four years ago, Valeria and Jeniffer—two visionary changemakers—crossed paths and discovered a shared purpose: to inspire and equip young grassroots leaders to become catalysts for equality and justice in their communities.
This anniversary isn’t just a date on the calendar—it’s a celebration of everything we’ve built together. Our growing impact, dedicated team, and fully operational Kenyan NGO are proof that we’ve laid a rock-solid foundation for authentic, locally led, and sustainable change.
Today, as we celebrate 4 years of Lightup Impact, we honor every bold idea, every late-night brainstorm, and every life transformed by our shared mission. Here’s to fueling even more social change—together—for many years to come!

Paybill: 600100
Our goal: €10,000 (1.5M Ksh) in 3 months
Lightup Impact Days 2025 - €7,000 (1M Ksh)
Fuel youth-led gender and climate justice. Conferences like Lightup Impact Days do more than share ideas—they open doors. At Lightup Impact Days, youth leaders gain visibility, credibility, and the vital connections to funders and partners their projects need to succeed. Your support helps us host hands-on workshops, interactive sessions, and amplify the visibility of youth-led solutions that drive real change.
Members’ Summit - €3,000 (500K Ksh)
Sponsor 40 youth leaders to connect, recharge, and grow stronger together. Building a movement can feel isolating. Our Members’ Summit brings youth leaders together in a safe, energizing space—where peer support turns stress into solidarity, and shared stories spark resilience. These meetups are lifelines, helping founders recharge, learn from one another, and build the collaborative networks that drive lasting social change.
