The Entrepreneurship and Skills Development Program focuses on equipping youth with practical, market relevant skills that improve employability, create job opportunities, and promote self reliance. Through this program, young people are trained, mentored, guided, and supported to develop income generating abilities and meaningful career pathways.
We work with vulnerable urban youth who often lack access to training, capital, and opportunities. This program helps them transition from unemployment and uncertainty to productivity, independence, and hope.
