Thanet's Home for
Ethnic Minority Communities
We Empower · We Encourage · We Support
For two decades, Jambo Africa has empowered ethnic minority children, young people, and families across Thanet—celebrating culture, championing rights, and building a stronger, more connected community.
The Heart of Ethnic Minority Life in Thanet
For 20 years, Jambo Africa Community UK has been a home and a voice for ethnic minority residents in Thanet. We turn isolation into belonging—celebrating culture, championing rights, and supporting children, young people, and families to thrive.
From youth clubs and our Therapeutic African Drumming Circle to advice for parents, we create spaces where people feel seen, valued, and able to shape their community. Our work bridges cultures, reduces barriers to integration, and ensures ethnic minority voices are heard in decisions that affect their lives—and we carry that same spirit into our international work in Kenya.

Reaching Beyond Thanet to Kenya
The same compassion that drives our work in Thanet extends to Kenya, where we protect vulnerable girls and support young women on the road to recovery. Our UK and Kenyan work share one belief: every person deserves protection, dignity, and opportunity.

We have secured 2 acres of land in Kajiado County, Kenya. Now we need your help to build a 30-bed rescue and rehabilitation centre for girls fleeing FGM, forced marriage, and domestic violence. This facility will shelter 120+ girls per year and provide trauma counselling, education, vocational training, and a path to independence.
