The Kenya Youth Employment and Opportunities Project aims to empower and uplift the well-being of unemployed youths in Kenya who have basic level of education either high school, primary or never been to school by equipping them with essential training, internship and business grant opportunities. This project caters for youths aged between 18 to 29 by giving them opportunities to attain various skills training and get entrepreneurship support.
Unemployment is a major menace that’s been bedeviling young people in Kenya who find it difficult to survive in a cut throat economy that only favors the rich, the situation is even worsened by lack of exposure in a country in which almost every employer requires an experienced employee.
