Merritt Sonfan, a 14-year-old visionary from Nakuru, Kenya, founded the Young Shinestarboy Foundation in 2021 at the age of 10. Growing up in a community where access to education and healthcare was limited, Merritt Sonfan faced numerous challenges but was inspired by the resilience and support of his neighbors.
Determined to create opportunities for others, Merritt Sonfan started the foundation to provide free tutoring, medical camps, and vocational training. His passion for empowering youth and fostering sustainable development has transformed over 15,000 lives, earning him recognition as a young leader in Kenya.
“I believe every child deserves a chance to shine,” says Merritt Sonfan. His dream is to expand the foundation’s reach, ensuring every community in Kenya has the tools to thrive.
We provide free tutoring, scholarships, and school supplies to underprivileged students, empowering them to achieve academic success and break the cycle of poverty.
Our free medical camps offer check-ups, treatments, and health education to thousands, improving community health and well-being.
Vocational training in skills like carpentry, tailoring, and IT equips youth with tools for self-reliance and economic independence.
Through tree planting and sustainable practices, we combat climate change and promote environmental stewardship.
Microfinance and entrepreneurship training empower women to start businesses and achieve financial independence.
We build infrastructure like learning centers and water systems to strengthen communities.
Sustainable agriculture initiatives ensure communities have access to nutritious food year-round.
