I am setting up a company called Skills Venture that pairs up UK and US business people as mentors with Kenyan entrepreneurs. I have experience in the voluntary and government sectors (including time at DFID).
We believe supporting entrepreneurs in developing countries is crucial to lifting people out of poverty.
We aim at providing Business Model & creating Opportunity for the poor, Under and Un Educated Youths, Training and assistance to young ENTREPRENEURS to help them to start their own industry for growth, be Self Employed to escape the endless cycle of poverty.
We have developed compact Mini machines (Plastics) affordable and convenient for the common people to start with a very small capital. The machine provides wide product range and many industry options to work with. We have been conferred by PLASTINDIA FOUNDATION with PLASTICON AWARD for the same.
