Lifeskills Promoters (LISP) is a Kenyan national not-for-profit organization that has been empowering young people through the provision of appropriate life skills interventions since 1999. Over the years, LISP has partnered with schools, religious institutions, community groups, and government departments to equip thousands of young people with skills for life and lobby for the creation of facilitative policies and legislations for youth empowerment.
In addition to working with children and youth, LISP has expanded her programs to focus on community health, education, socioeconomic development, and institutional systems strengthening.
