History
Founded in 1999, the Center for Transforming Mission (CTM) is dedicated to empowering marginalized communities by equipping indigenous leaders with the training and resources needed to drive sustainable transformation. Originally established in Denver, USA, CTM now operates locally in the Dominican Republic, Guatemala, and Kenya.
CTM Kenya began in 2006 as part of the USA office but later transitioned to local registration to ensure sustainable program implementation. While the USA office focused on high-risk youth, CTM Kenya adopted a broader approach, prioritizing leadership development within churches and communities. Our mission is to build leaders’ capacities through training and empowerment while strengthening community livelihoods and social support networks. Strategic advocacy is also a core component of our work, facilitated through partnerships.
In 2018 CTM Kenya was accredited by The Leadership Foundations, hence we are also known as the CTM Kenya – Nairobi Leadership Foundation. As part of this global movement we commit in our service to Engaging leaders of good faith and good will, Building the capacity of others and developing joint initiative.
