Shaping social innovation in urgent times.

WAYFINDER NAIROBI 2026

Ten years ago, 160 friends of SIX gathered for the first Wayfinder and asked an audacious question: what should social innovation achieve by 2027? We're past that horizon now. It's time to get the tribe back together. This is the first Wayfinder of a new chapter, stewarded by the EdelGive Foundation, and built to centre the Global South social innovation too often left out of the room. 

We chose Nairobi for a reason. Some of the most dynamic work in the world is happening across East Africa right now, and you'll spend these two days alongside Kenyan practitioners working in today's conditions. 

The Wayfinder is not a conference. There are no panels, no passive audiences, no polished keynotes. It's two days of honest conversation, carefully matched peer connections, and structured working sessions that end with public commitments about how we can coordinate and act differently.
