Welcome to CELEG

The Center for Leadership , Ethics (CELEG) was established by its founder, (Moses Gichuho) in 2021, moved by the desire and passion of, producing building and empowering more youth leaders to take on the work of development and also by the dearth and paucity of proper ethical and accountable leadership prevalent on the African continent.

Moses believes, ‘everything rises and falls on leadership’ hence his aim to equip and inspire 1,000,000 youth leaders in Africa to become proactive, productive and progressive agents of Africa’s transformation.

CELEG leverages the expertise of passionate changemakers who make up its advisory and executive team. We pride ourselves of world-class, seasoned professionals (African-focused and Globally-minded)who lead our ‘four centres of youth action’.

CELEGS inception was driven by the desire to provide the youth a platform to understand and plug in as critical stakeholder in development activities by; providing opportunities for vital information dissemination, creating space for civic engagement, social and development discourse, innovation and creativity hence meaningfully contribute and participate in local intervention strategies.

Our philosophy: Youth are the ideal agents to be at the forefront of the sustainable development movement as they are forward-thinking, creative and constitute the largest demographic dividend.
