My Business

Every youth who join us for capacity building for business, pay a registration fee of 200 ksh, and later they commit to adopt a fellow youth by contributing at least 500Kshs to the program. This ensures that we have money to run the program.

The money is used in the program.
Capacity building is our business

Loan Proposal

The Business is about empowering others to make maximum profits from businesses.
In particular, the project will create the institutional architecture and stakeholder capacity to deliver self-employment support services to young people over the long-term.
the proposed project will adopt a locally-based approach to provide non-financial support services to young informal sector workers and other disadvantaged youth along the life-cycle of a micro-enterprise, thereby enhancing their ability to access existing financial services and increase the viability of their income-generating activities. Specifically, the locally-based approach involves bringing together local civil society champions (NGOs and Community-Based Organizations (CBOs)), private sector players and local governments with the relevant public sector institutions that have a strong local presence.
Integrated micro-entrepreneurship support for disadvantaged youth

This component provides a menu of non-financial support services designed to facilitate the start-up and expansion of local youth-led micro-entrepreneurship. These services will be calibrated to fit the heterogeneous needs of youth at the local level and streamlined during the early stages of the project. Specific delivery arrangements will be made to ensure the participation of young girls (e.g. through female only groups). The project will benefit disadvantaged youth, such as those i) with secondary education or less, ii) working in the informal sector, and iii) unemployed or discouraged.

The component will be implemented under the coordination of the Ministry of Youth and Sports through carefully selected local implementing organizations, including community-based organizations, NGOs, and private sector providers, who will be responsible for delivering the self-employment support services locally needed. Necessary equipment will be provided by the project to ensure service delivery to a critical mass of beneficiaries.
