We support enterprises that create advancement opportunities for people. Because Kenya has a vibrant and youthful population, it provides an opportunity for accelerated social and economic growth. However, the formal labor market is constrained and cannot take up all youth seeking employment. SMEs plug into this deficit by providing job opportunities. Supporting SMEs is therefore pertinent in catalyzing job creation and improved livelihoods for young and vulnerable populations at scale.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
