Community
Karen Village is a dynamic community hub offering two distinct facilities designed to empower local entrepreneurs and foster community involvement.
​
-
Kijiji Hall is specifically tailored for informal sector entrepreneurs. It provides an affordable space for setting up and operating small shops and restaurants without the heavy expense of conventional rents and location setups.

-
Our community space, on the other hand, serves as a dedicated venue for meetings, gatherings, and events. This space is designed to bring community members together, enabling a vibrant exchange of ideas, collaboration, and social inclusion.
​
Each facility plays its unique role—Kijiji Hall supports business growth while the community space nurtures a strong, connected community.
