1

Who we are

AFOSI is a Kenya-based technology NGO, founded in 2012, driving sustainable change in Sub-Saharan Africa by equipping youth and women with AI-driven tools, green skills, and access to global climate finance. Our programs span six pillars (health, education, environment, livelihoods, leadership & governance, and humanitarian work) and we build and run our own digital platforms, including the Kiongozi Platform, Kenya Youth Climate Hub, Afosi Hub, and the Kiongozi Chat mobile app. The Site provides information about our programs, platforms, opportunities, and news, and a way to donate to and partner with us.

2

Use of the Site

You agree to use the Site only for lawful purposes and in a way that does not infringe the rights of, restrict, or inhibit anyone else's use of it. You must not:

  • Attempt to gain unauthorized access to the Site, our servers, or any systems connected to it
  • Introduce viruses, malware, or other harmful code
  • Scrape, harvest, or collect data from the Site by automated means without our written permission
  • Use the Site to transmit unlawful, defamatory, or fraudulent content
  • Impersonate AFOSI, our staff, or any other person or organization

We may suspend or restrict access to the Site, in whole or in part, at our discretion, without notice.

3

Applications and opportunities

Where the Site allows you to apply for programs, opportunities, volunteering, or partnerships, you agree that the information you submit is accurate and that you are entitled to submit it. Submitting an application does not guarantee selection, funding, or participation. We may contact you using the details you provide to process your application.

4

Donations

Donations made through the Site are processed by third-party payment providers, currently Paystack, supporting card and mobile money payments, including M-Pesa. By donating, you also agree to our Donation & Refund Policy, which sets out when a donation may be refunded.

Donations are used at AFOSI's discretion to further our programs and organizational mission, unless a donation is expressly earmarked and we have separately agreed in writing to honor that restriction.

We do not store your card or mobile money credentials; these are handled directly by our payment processor under their own security and compliance standards. See our Privacy Policy for how we handle your information.

5

Intellectual property

Unless otherwise stated, all content on the Site (text, graphics, logos, photos, and the "AFOSI" name and mark) is owned by or licensed to AFOSI and protected by Kenyan and international intellectual property law. You may view, download, and print content from the Site for personal, non-commercial use, provided you keep all copyright and other proprietary notices intact.

Third-party links and platforms

The Site links to independently operated platforms we build or support, including Kenya Youth Climate Hub, Afosi Hub, and Kiongozi ya Vijana, as well as to third-party sites such as our social media pages and payment processors. We do not control these third-party sites and are not responsible for their content, policies, or practices. Use of those platforms is governed by their own terms.
