For youth unable to access formal education, the barriers to accessing practical and relevant learning opportunities are even greater. In many regions of Africa, nearly half of secondary-age youth are out of school and only 1 in 20 rural girls are on track to complete secondary education - making the path to employment even more challenging.
Livelihood Bootcamps
Based on our learnings, experience, and a strong foundation of evidence, we’ve built a multi-week bootcamp hyper-tailored to the needs of these young people.
Our bootcamps run in Kenya and Uganda and primarily cater to rural girls and young women.
Internationally-Recognized, Evidence-Driven Design
Our long-term vision is to create a marketplace of alternative pathways built around strategic growth sectors, specific target groups, or informal economy business models.
Our solutions for out-of-school youth are built upon the evidence of our own core experience and a 3-week bootcamp we supported, which had 30%+ income gains three years later.
“Overall, this is a cool result — and one of the stronger I have seen for youth-oriented training.”
