Axum, organizing team of Hearth Summit Nairobi

In 2024, Hearth Summit Nairobi sparked powerful conversations about wellbeing in Kenya, bringing together a diverse community of

changemakers to confront stigma, dismantle systemic barriers, and explore holistic approaches to personal, collective, and ecological wellbeing. The summit affirmed that wellbeing is not an individual endeavor alone but profoundly shaped by the social, economic, and political systems that structure our everyday lives.

Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty, governance challenges, and persistent issues such as healthcare inequity, environmental degradation, and gender-based violence, the call for bold, locally rooted solutions has never been more urgent. As we look ahead to Hearth Summit Nairobi 2025, we are building on the energy and insights of last year’s gathering to delve deeper into the intersections of wellbeing, social equity, systemic transformation, and community resilience. By amplifying voices across sectors — business, social impact, the arts, grassroots organizing, and beyond — we aim to spark radical honesty, critical inquiry, and collective action toward reimagining systems where individuals, communities, and the nation can thrive.
