Empowering Tomorrow’s Leaders: Leadership and Business Development at Makueni Youth Network
Jan 07 2025

At Makueni Youth Network, we believe that empowering young people with leadership and business skills is the foundation for building a more prosperous and equitable society. Our Leadership and Business Development program serves as the gateway for all members of our network, equipping them with the tools they need to thrive in today’s dynamic world.

Leadership Track: Activating Potential and Building Confidence

Every member of our network begins their journey by completing the leadership track. This comprehensive training provides participants with essential 21st-century leadership skills, including project management, business communication, advocacy, and teamwork. The goal is to ignite each member’s leadership passion and potential, helping them build a stronger sense of self-confidence, motivation, and collaboration.

We hold firmly to the belief that when young people are equipped with the right skills, knowledge, confidence, and attitudes, they become invaluable members of society. This program not only prepares them for leadership roles but also empowers them to approach challenges with creativity, resilience, and a proactive mindset.

Bridging the Gap Between Knowledge and Opportunity

Our program goes beyond imparting soft skills. We aim to empower young people to access and leverage youth-friendly financial services and products, such as Tetheka Fund, Uwezo Fund, YEDF (Youth Enterprise Development Fund), WEF (Women Enterprise Fund), and NGAAF (National Government Affirmative Action Fund). By familiarizing participants with these resources, we open pathways for financial independence and entrepreneurship.

Participants are guided to develop viable business plans that are not only market-ready but also aligned with their unique skills and aspirations. This hands-on approach ensures that they gain practical experience and confidence in managing financial resources effectively.

From Learning to Leading

By the end of the program, participants are expected to demonstrate their financial skills and business acumen. They are equipped to:

  • Develop and present viable business plans.
  • Start or scale up their own businesses.
  • Access and utilize youth-friendly financial resources.
  • Exhibit readiness for the workplace through tailored mentorship and coaching.

Our approach doesn’t end with training. We provide ongoing mentorship to ensure participants are well-prepared to achieve their goals. Whether they aim to launch a new business, grow an existing one, or enhance their career readiness, we support them every step of the way.

Building a Brighter Future Together

Through the Leadership and Business Development program, Makueni Youth Network is creating a generation of confident, capable, and resourceful leaders and entrepreneurs. We believe that by investing in young people, we are investing in the future of our communities and our nation. Together, we can unlock the potential of youth to drive meaningful change and sustainable development.
