Swahilipot Hub Foundation, a non-profit organization that is youth orientated and tech based is now on the spot for turning into a prostitution den.
The organisation prides itself of meaningfully engaging and empowering youth (18 to 35 years) to enable them unleash their full potential through use of technology but that seems not to be the case.
The controversial NGO is based in the coastal city of Mombasa in Kenya and is regulated by the NGO Coordination Board of Kenya
One of its mandate if to provide safe and conducive spaces for youth to engage in civic activities and express their ideas, offer holistic support systems, including mentorship programs, to empower youth and enhance their skills for community involvement but contrary to that, prostitution had become the order of the day.

Instead of ensuring access to social services that address the needs of young people and enable them to actively participate in social change initiatives as per its mandate,the doors have been opened and Sodom and Gomora is now readily available at the organisation.
The organisation has enjoyed unchallenged years of intimidation, blackmail and money influence, but it has now been revealed how the students ans staff are too much into prostitution.
The founder is Mahmoud Noor is now being accused of several allegations among them sodomy, sexual harassment among other vises.
Several young ladies who spoke anonymously accused Mahmood Noor of his influence in police and the political arena in undermining the less fortunate.
They added that he has been sodomizing them and even their parents know about it but efforts to seek justice have been suppressed through bribery to relevant authorities.
“There’s nothing that can be done. In Islamic we have that culture of ‘fear of religion’ and the society. But what Noor has been doing to us it is something that needs thorough probe,” one of the sodomy victim revealed.
The angry and irate victims said that several youth at the centre including young men have been badly sodomized.
Sodomy is a felony per Section 162 of the Kenyan Penal Code, punishable by 21 years’ imprisonment, and any sexual practices (termed “gross indecency”) are a felony under section 165 of the same statute, punishable by 5 years’ imprisonment.
