COVID19 means 1.5million young people in Kenya are unemployed and living in poverty. We will provide free vocational training & business skills courses to enable students to secure employment or start a small business. All young people deserve a chance to build a happy future, free from poverty.

Situation
Youth unemployment has doubled since COVID19. We’ve seen firsthand the devastating impact of the pandemic, families live hand-to-mouth and are reliant on casual labour jobs which have now been lost. Unemployment & poverty put young people at high risk of exploitation and violence, especially girls, causing significant trauma and poor mental health. With few jobs available, self-employment can provide an opportunity for earning income, but most young people do not have the skills or confidence.
Solution
Through our Seed of Hope programme, we provide free vocational training, business skills courses and wellbeing counselling for young people aged 14-25, and support them to find employment or set up a small business to generate income. We urgently need your help to support 900 vulnerable young people next year, enabling them to gain the skills and confidence needed to build a financially secure future, free from poverty.
