We successfully trained 150 youth across Homa Bay and Nairobi counties in business startup skills and digital literacy. This initiative targeted out-of-school and underemployed youth between the ages of 18 and 30, equipping them with the tools to turn ideas into income-generating ventures. The training covered key modules such as business model development, financial literacy, digital marketing, and the use of mobile apps for business management. Special emphasis was placed on youth-led innovation and building resilience in Kenya’s evolving digital economy.
As of June, 65 participants have launched small enterprises in sectors such as agribusiness, fashion, food vending, and digital services. Over 80% of the trained youth reported increased confidence in using digital tools to manage business operations, access market information, and promote their products online. Additionally, at least 25 youth have formed peer support groups to co-invest or share digital skills with others in their communities.
We are proud to report that 95% of participants have created digital business plans, and 70% are actively seeking seed funding opportunities.
Thank you for your continued support.
