Building bridgesbetween communitiesand the wider world.

Path to Russia is a grassroots organization bringing cultural exchange, education, sport and digital skills to young people across 11 Kenyan counties — strengthening relations between Kenya and Russia, one community at a time.

Who we are

A community organization, globally connected.

We work where opportunity is needed most — in schools, on football pitches, and in classrooms turned into coding labs. Through cultural exchange and practical skills, we help young people see further, dream bigger, and build the futures they choose for themselves.

  • Rooted in local communities
  • Cross-cultural by design
  • Youth and women at the centre
  • Strengthening Kenya–Russia relations
