From Humble Beginnings to a Lasting Impact.

Empowering the Youths, Transforming Communities

The Dominic Kilonzo Foundation (D.K.F.) is a community-rooted nonprofit based in Machakos County, Kenya, with its operations focused in Yatta Constituency and Ndalani Ward. Founded by Dominic Kilonzo Kiio, D.K.F. is inspired by a personal journey from poverty to purpose. Having been raised at the Mully Children’s Family (MCF), Dominic experienced firsthand the transformative power of love, opportunity, and mentorship. Today, he leads a foundation that seeks to extend that same impact to thousands of others.

Empowering Communities
Dominic Kilonzo

Founder and Executive Director

Dominic Kilonzo Kiio’s journey began in poverty, but through the grace of MCF, he found hope, mentorship, and a vision. Now a leader and community advocate, Dominic established D.K.F. to give back to the very communities that raised him. His mission: to rewrite stories of hardship into stories of hope.

Our Programs

At D.K.F, we implement a wide range of community-centered programs designed to make a lasting impact:

A dynamic mentorship and training program for young people, equipping them with leadership, governance, and life skills to lead change in their communities.

Provision of scholarships, school supplies, digital literacy labs, and mentorship programs targeting vulnerable students from underprivileged backgrounds.

We offer skills training, support for micro-enterprises, youth cooperatives, and financial literacy to build economic independence in the community.

Civic education outreach, community townhalls, and policy awareness events to nurture responsible, informed citizens and encourage youth participation in governance.

Our environmental sustainability program focused on tree planting, clean energy awareness, waste management, and water projects to build healthier communities.

I used to walk 10km to school without shoes or books. Today, I am in Form 3 with all my school needs met, thanks to D.K.F. I dream of becoming a lawyer to defend the voiceless.
