Kenya - Centre for Urban Mission Informal Settlement Economic Development Initiative

This project seeks to reduce the economic vulnerability of the marginalized youths and women in the informal settlements of Nairobi, Kenya. Mobilization and identification shall be conducted through and by local churches. Training will be conducted by the Centre for Urban Mission in order to offer skills in businesses and in initiating and managing savings groups. The youth will be placed in enterprises so as to acquire skills necessary for self and wage employment.

Business scale up capital shall be facilitated as matching funds to the savings groups through churches and this will be pegged on local contributions/savings.

ORAF is providing funds for this three year project.
