The Vision Behind the Movement
Collaborative Approach was born from the vision of our Founder and Managing Director, Mr. Harun Mwadena Muyesi. A dedicated grassroots youth advocate and ecosystem enabler, Harun's journey began in coastal Kenya, where he witnessed the profound injustices stemming from societal stereotypes and the systemic barriers that stifled the potential of talented individuals, particularly youth.
This firsthand experience ignited a deep-seated commitment: to establish an organisation where authenticity and impact are judged solely on merit, transcending historical mistrust and fostering true inclusion.
Harun's path was not without its challenges. Early experiences, where his crucial contributions to securing funding for others went uncompensated, underscored a broader issue within the ecosystem: young leaders often operate in a volunteer capacity without adequate compensation or safety nets.
