OUR AIM

(1) Facilitate the empowerment of rural, peri-urban, and urban youth in informal settlements and prisons through agribusiness ventures, self-employment within the informal sector, enabling them to become self-reliant.

(2) Dispel the myth that prior entrepreneurial knowledge or substantial capital is a prerequisite for starting a business.

(3) Collaborate with institutions that cater to young people in transition, delivering technical expertise to help them translate skills and knowledge into practical businesses.

(4) Engage with youth in prison by providing them with skills, knowledge, and positive reinforcement. Equipping them with tools that will be useful during their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.
