Mission

Our mission is to create livelihoods for youth in urban slums in Kenya. Our vision is a world in which youth can work their way out of poverty.

What We Do

After interviewing 278 young people in Nairobi slums, we learned they were all selling whatever they could in order to survive. We leverage those existing skills to employ youth at what they are good at – sales. We create livelihoods by recruiting young people into a training and employment program where they learn valuable business and professional skills and earn an income selling life-changing products in their communities. This work gives youth living in poverty the chance to develop skills, build confidence and earn a dignified livelihood.
