2025 Nonprofit Venture Spotlight: Clean Start Africa, a transformative social enterprise that supports formerly incarcerated women in Kenya as they rebuild their lives after imprisonment. Clean Start works with women and children impacted by the criminal justice system by restoring hope, dignity, and self-confidence in order to break cycles of poverty, crime, and recidivism. The organization mobilizes communities and stakeholders to support the rights and well-being of these women with employment opportunities, economic independence, and comprehensive emotional, spiritual, and psychosocial support for trauma healing. With their holistic approach that reimagines justice, Clean Start embodies two ORIs: Entrepreneurship & Capital for Upward Mobility and Infrastructure Building in Developing Economies. Founder & CEO Teresa Njoroge founded Clean Start in January 2015 after she was wrongly imprisoned. Since then, she has steered socioeconomic transformation and social justice reforms in Kenya and across the African continent through strategic leadership.

Our team recently heard from Joshua Gao (Vault Kinetics, Emerging Founders 2024) as he reflected on his experience at last year’s Praxis Summit.

The next day he handed me his copy of the Praxis Community Update—I stayed up reading every Praxis founder story I could find. Christian Entrepreneurship exists?!” Applications for the 2025 Emerging Founders scholarship program close on November 25. This program offers 10 spots for leaders with under 3 years of experience to attend the Praxis Summit in Napa, CA (May 2025).
