What we do

We are transforming Africa's beauty and hair industry one youth at a time.

Skills Development

In Kenya, youth unemployment remains a pressing challenge. Youth face rates as high as 18 %, with more than one in four underemployed. At Lintons Foundation, our vocational beauty and hair training transforms this narrative. We empower youth, especially women with practical, in-demand skills in hair, skincare and makeup artistry, enabling them to build dignified, self-reliant, and sustainable livelihoods.

Employment & Entrepreneurship

We use education as a powerful tool for empowerment. By equipping youth, especially women with practical, income-generating skills in hair, makeup, and skincare, we enable them to gain financial independence, build confidence, and create sustainable livelihoods. Our graduates not only transform their own lives but also uplift their communities through job creation and entrepreneurship.

Financial Inclusion

Research guides everything we do, from designing relevant training programs to measuring real-world impact. By using data and industry insights, we ensure our graduates gain the skills employers need, track outcomes like job placement and income growth and financial inclusion.
