Today, the project launched entrepreneurship training for the Western cluster, covering Kakamega, Vihiga, Bungoma, and Busia counties.

This will be the first of eight clusters nationwide, with three training cohorts of 54,000, 30,000, and 16,000 youth set to follow in quick succession. Once training is complete, the beneficiaries will receive their start-up capital in phases and continue receiving hands-on support from business development experts as they establish and grow their businesses.
