Raising a generation that rises.

Ocean Rise Generation is a faith-centred mentorship movement based in Ruaka, Kiambu - walking with young people from the classroom to their calling.

Who We Are

Mentorship that meets young people where they are

We exist because the teenage years decide so much - identity, habits, courage and direction. And no young person should have to navigate them alone.

Ocean Rise Generation brings together vetted mentors, structured programs and a community of families so that boys and girls aged 10-18 are seen, challenged and equipped. Our work runs through two flagship tracks - ManRise for boys and IshaForge for girls - extended by career-focused pathways and our signature 5-day holiday bootcamps.

  • Faith-centred - identity and purpose rooted in God
  • Relational - consistent mentors, not one-off events
  • Practical - life skills, leadership and career exposure
  • Family-focused - parents are partners, not spectators

What Drives Us

Our Vision

To see generations of young men and women who understand their unique identity, embrace responsibility, and positively influence the world - families, communities, and nations transformed from the inside out.

Our Mission

To provide a transformative mentorship experience that guides boys and girls through the critical transition to adulthood - through intentional dialogue, challenging experiences, and shared learning with positive role models.

Our Values

What We Stand For

Four commitments that shape every session, camp and conversation.

Faith

Everything we do is anchored in a living faith that gives young people identity and hope.

Integrity

We teach young people that a good name is worth more than riches - and model it ourselves.

Responsibility

From chores to choices, we raise young people who own their actions and their future.

Leadership begins with serving others - our cohorts give back in their own community.

Impact Pillars

How Lives Change Here

Identity & Character

Young people discover who they are before the world defines them - building integrity, discipline and self-worth that holds under pressure.

Leadership & Brotherhood

Teamwork, communication and shared responsibility - young people learn to lead by serving their peers and community.

Education & Career

Mentorship that reaches the classroom - study habits, talents and career exposure through our Pathways and Horizons programs.

Faith & Purpose

Every camp day and session points young people to a purpose bigger than themselves - hope that carries them through life.

"In a world where positive role models are often lacking, we step in - to support, challenge, and inspire authentic manhood and womanhood."
