About the Project
The Need
The majority of Kenyan youths are unemployed, underemployed or underpaid. The country has an unemployment rate of 40%, of which 70% are youths. Youth unemployment prolongs dependency on parents, diminishes self-esteem and fuels frustration which increases the likelihood of violence, crime and conflict.
In the project area, 54% of the population live in poverty, caused by: uneconomical land plots, squatter problems, cattle rustling, landlessness and unemployment.
The Project Intervention
The project started in 2011 with a pilot phase of the project titled Youth Empowerment in Sustainable Agriculture (YESA) in Trans Nzoia East district, North Rift Region. The project has expanded in subsequent phases, and is currently titled Growing Futures (GF). It is designed to combat unemployment among the youth through equipping farmers with skills in agri-business, crop husbandry practices and marketing/enterprise development, with a core focus on the financial sustainability of their businesses.
