The word Engangani is from the Nyoro Language which means Friends or coming together for a common goal. The organization is formed on the basis of friends coming together to join forces to handle issues affecting communities. The organization uses an approach of volunteerism from individuals and organisations as a support system to implement her projects.

At Enganjani we recognize that communities face multiple challenges that deter them from progressing towards growth and development. We are also cognizant that majority of our communities have youths that are unemployed, use drugs and survive on minimum incomes. This leaves our communities at risks of cyclic poverty and insecurity. We therefore believe initiatives that promote education, modern agriculture, skills training, health promotion and environmental rights will offer sustainable solutions to challenges that affect our communities.
