Unseen Heroes: the youth-powered research behind a louder Kenya

Unseen Heroes is our most ambitious piece of youth-led research yet, mapping how ideas actually move through young Kenyan communities.

Rather than asking what young people think, we asked who they listen to — and why. The answers point consistently towards peers, not institutions.

The full report is available to partners, with a public summary released alongside our TED Countdown 2025 appearance in Nairobi.
