On May 17, 2010 the Poject Baobab training came to a happy ending with 43 graduates from two slums areas in Nairobi-Korogosho and Mukuru Kwa Reuben. Visit our Facebook page at www.facebook.com/ProjectBaobab. Project Baobab's vision is to educate and empower Kenyan youth to become successful entrepreneurs. Project Baobab provides entrepreneurial education and grants to youth, especially women, through a specialized life skills and business curriculum in Kenya, a country of 40% unemployment with 58% of the people living below a $2 a day. Upon graduation, our students compete for $100 grants to fund their business idea. In 2010 we will have four classes in 2 communities at Nairobi slums: Korogosho and Kwa Reuben. Since 2001, Project Baobab has educated over 1000 students and funded approximately 300 new business ventures. One of our graduates, Jennifer Shukuru, writes this about her experience of Project Baobab, "Am doing well here in Kenya and am happily running my business . . . we are becoming big business ladies and now everybody is happy about our Project Baobab. My parents are appreciating how Baobab has moulded me to be a very important person in my community. I now have an ambition of being a very great person."
