Entrepreneurship

We have developed targeted interventions that provide aspiring and existing entrepreneurs with skills, resources and network needed for their success. Through these interventions we hope to create jobs, empower the youth, drive innovation, promote self-sufficiency in communities and stimulate economic growth.

Our interventions in entrepreneurship include;

• Entrepreneurship training and education. We have developed a six weeks’ intensive program that is focused on skill enhancement in entrepreneurship. Learners are equipped with entrepreneurship concepts, knowledge and skills that will enable them to start new successful business ventures.  By the end of the six-week program, learners will be able to generate feasible business ideas, create business plan, and start a business venture.
• Mentorship programs. We identify opportunities to pair upcoming entrepreneurs with experienced mentors who can provide guidance, share insights, and offer advise on how to navigate the complex business environment. We create regular peer-to-peer learning to build a supportive network.
• Seed capital. We support potential entrepreneurs by facilitating access to micro loans and grants for startup and small businesses.
• Incubators and acceleration. We create incubator and accelerator programs that provide structured support, resources and mentorship to help entrepreneurs launch and scale their businesses.
• Market access and linkages. We support entrepreneurs to identify and access buyers, suppliers, and broader markets. We help them understand consumer needs and brand their products for the market.
• Network and partnership opportunities. We organize workshops, conferences, events and forums with aim of connecting entrepreneurs with investors, industry players, and business experts.
• Community- based entrepreneurship. We promote programs that encourage local entrepreneurs to identify local needs and come up with entrepreneurial solutions/efforts that seek to address those needs for example kitchen gardens, crafts, tourism among others.
