Youth and women in Kenya constitute a significant portion of the population yet face persistent inequalities, economic vulnerabilities, and limited access to resources, restricting their capacity to participate fully in socio-economic development.
Unemployment disproportionately affects young people, with approximately 800,000 entering the labour market annually amid limited opportunities. Women face additional barriers, such as restricted access to finance, limited property rights, and inadequate representation in leadership and decision-making processes.
To effectively address these challenges, we prioritise programmes that increase economic opportunities, enhance financial literacy, and equip women and youth with essential entrepreneurial and employment skills. By supporting economic empowerment initiatives, we contribute to reducing poverty, addressing gender disparities, and fostering sustainable economic development.
