Empowering Youth with Entrepreneurial Skills
We equip the Kenyan youth with economically viable technical skills and priming them for entrepreneurship opportunities across the market.

Youth4Biz is a program by Gifted Hands Youth Empowerment Organization that exists to promote and advance the social and economic prosperity of the Kenyan youths through the study, application and practice of entrepreneurship at the community level in a manner that the youths can easily embrace and connect.

Why Entrepreneurship?

Research and proven scientific studies demonstrate and reveal that entrepreneurship education helps students from all different backgrounds develop skills that will help them both in school and in life. Youths’ age bracket is a perfect time to introduce these concepts and provide them with the opportunities to begin applying and experiencing the benefits of engaging in business and entrepreneurship.

Our work is driven by the following shared set of values and beliefs:

WE BELIEVE IN ENTREPRENEURSHIP

It is a model for generating innovative solutions to complex challenges, and that it is a pathway for creating economic and social prosperity.

WE BELIEVE THAT THE YOUTH WE SERVE ARE EXTRAORDINARY

They are smart, savvy, courageous, and fully capable of manifesting success in ways that are meaningful and relevant to them and our community.

WE BELIEVE THAT ENTREPRENEURSHIP IS BEST LEARNED BY DOING IT

Our model allows youth to experience entrepreneurship first-hand, process their experience into learning, draw strategic conclusions, and then quickly test their new ideas in another action-based setting.

WE BELIEVE THAT ENTREPRENEURSHIP DELIVERS LIFE-LONG IMPACT

The practice of entrepreneurship delivers critical life-long outcomes for youth including increased income, increased relevance to academic content, increased resiliency, positive risk-taking skills, and increased connection to the community.

WE BELIEVE IN THE POWER OF COMMUNITY

We value the diverse community of entrepreneurial leaders within our community and we intentionally connect our youth with them, as well as the venues and networks that support them.

Who is our Target Group?

Youth4Biz targets to sponsor Kenyan youths (18-25 years), who have cleared high school and are unable to join college, for an entrepreneurship, life and technical skills training program quarterly.
