Graduates of the PowerUp programme in Nairobi County. [James Wanzala, Standard]
A total of 238 young entrepreneurs in Kisumu graduated last Thursday under the Power Up programme. The graduation marked the continued expansion of youth-led repair and circular economy enterprises across Kenya.
The participants completed the training in Kisumu, with 12 per cent of the cohort being persons with disabilities.
Women accounted for 35 per cent of participants, while men made up 65 per cent. The programme continues to attract strong interest from young people entering the repair and e-waste management sector, particularly among aspiring and existing repairers and collectors.
