East Africa Affiliates
Regional Overview
Partners Worldwide was birthed in Kenya when a group of North American and local businesspeople asked the question: “How can businesspeople be a part of the solution to end poverty?”
Today, the local business affiliates in Kenya, Tanzania, and Uganda have grown into a regional network of over 3,000 Christian businesspeople and professionals. East African business people desire to effect change in the lives of their families, employees, clients, and the marketplace. Since 2004, East Africa has hosted four Partners Worldwide Regional Business Conferences, drawing hundreds of people together to spark synergies of culture and calling in places like Kampala and Nairobi.
