In millions of homes, after the lights are out, the glow of a screen remains. It’s the source of connection and knowledge, but also of anxiety and conflict. It raises a question that every modern parent eventually asks themselves:
"In a world this loud and distracting, how do I help my child build a happy, healthy, and successful life?"
Finding the answer can feel overwhelming. The advice is scattered, the technology changes in a blink, and the stakes - our children's well-being - could not be higher.
Kindraza was born from that very question.
Building Strong, Responsible Teens for a Digital Future
Kindraza is a nonprofit organization that empowers youth, particularly teens aged 11–16, by providing programs, workshops, and experiences that build resilience, critical thinking, entrepreneurship skills, and community belonging; and to reduce barriers to access for low-income families.
We are committed to protecting teens mental health, fostering emotional intelligence, and helping build real-life skills while guiding them to use AI and social media safely and wisely.
We prepare teens to thrive in today’s world not just academically, but practically, emotionally, and ethically.
From a Parent's Worry to a Teen's Triumph: The Story of Kindraza
If you're a parent of a teen today, you're in a unique position.
You're raising a child who is bright, capable, and full of potential, yet they are growing up in a world saturated with challenges we never faced: overwhelming screen time, the subtle manipulations of social media, and the unknown territory of Artificial Intelligence.
Do you ever find yourself wondering:
"Is my teen prepared for the real world?"
"How can I help them build confidence that isn't tied to 'likes' and 'views'?"
"Are they learning the practical skills—like managing money or talking to adults professionally—that they'll actually need to succeed?"
You are not alone. These are the questions that keep caring parents up at night. They are also the very questions that led to the creation of Kindraza.
Our Founder's Story: I'm a Mom Who's Been There
Hi! My name is Natalia, and I'm not just the founder of Kindraza, I'm a mother and a former "teen-preneur."
I started my first business at 9 years old sewing and selling Barbie dresses to my friends. At 11 years old, I started earning money from babysitting, watching after my neighbours children. That experience taught me more than just how to look after little ones; it taught me about responsibility, how to market myself, how to talk to parents, and the incredible pride of earning my own money. Those lessons shaped my life.
Years later, as I raised my own children, I saw a glaring gap. The world was demanding more from them, but the system wasn't preparing them with these essential life skills. I saw firsthand how the digital world was pulling at their attention, and I felt that same parental worry. And most youth programs weren’t cutting it. They were either too fluffy, too outdated, or too focused on screens.
As a lifelong entrepreneur who has built multiple businesses and children's programs from scratch and always been passionate about solving real problems and creating opportunities, I knew I had to do something.
Kindraza was founded on a simple, powerful belief: Our children don’t have to wait for opportunities; they can be taught to create them. As the founder of this non-profit, I want every child to learn how to seize opportunities and grow into a happy, well-rounded adult.
Our Mission:
We see a world of teens armed with a "living shield" - a shield built not from restrictions, but from competence, confidence, and real-world experience.
Our mission is to guide teens in using technology safely and consciously, while grounding them in tangible activities that build unshakable inner strength. Every time a teen in our program lands a babysitting client, launches a small business, or learns to budget their earnings, they are actively strengthening their mind.
This real-world engagement becomes their defense against screen addiction and digital manipulation. It nurtures their communication skills, their creativity, and their mental resilience in a way that no app or video game ever could.
At Kindraza, we've designed every program to be a launchpad for life.
We go beyond theory with hands-on, practical learning that leads to immediate results.
We transform their shyness into confidence by giving them scripts to talk to adults and tools to market themselves.
We turn their desire for a new phone into a lesson on financial literacy, teaching them to set rates, manage income, and understand their value.
We build a community of like-minded peers and mentors who cheer them on every step of the way.
