Youth Leadership & Entrepreneurship Project (YLEP)

The Youth Leadership & Entrepreneurship Project (YLEP) will focus on carrying out youth empowerment seminars and forums among rural youth and university students. We aim to identify successful youth leaders and agri-preneurs in the local community, invite them to share their journey and then build a social support group lining participants to local mentors. This will ensure that participants have a supportive follow up system and encourage accountability leading to real impact. Additionally, at the end of the project seminar phase, we aim to cap off the project by organizing a conference that will invite participants from the different seminars who have shown progress to share the impact of the program. This conference will also be used to launch a comprehensive report on the impact of the project as a whole.
