Vital community education for a 'lost generation'

Thank you for donating to this project supporting young people impacted by the pandemic and in need of our help. This report is about Linus, a 28 year old entrepreneur whose income generating group benefited from funding and training to expand their poultry farming business. Empowering groups to start or expand their own businesses has a direct impact in terms of income generation, but also provides inspirational stories for other groups within the community.

Linus is the Secretary of the Londiani Youth Group which is involved in poultry farming and this group was an existing business that needed help with expanding. They have benefited from income-generating resources of poultry feed and equipment that were provided by Brighter Communities Worldwide as part of the initiative. Linus said this helped them in “generating more employment for the 21 of us in our group”. The group have been able to sell more poultry and therefore generate more income because of these resources. 

Young people who didn't get to go back to school after COVID-19 lock downs & closures and whose futures are bleak without access to education are encouraged to join youth groups like this one.  As well as generating an income, they provide support for each other, a purpose to each day, opportunity to grow and education and skills to go further toward a brighter future.

If you would like to support this project again, then Giving Tuesday on November 29th is the date to mark in your calendar.  On this day GlobalGiving is giving away $1.2million to non-profits around the world as part of their #MoveAMillion campaign.  The more donations we raise over 24 hours on Giving Tuesday the more money we earn in bonus funds from GlobalGving.

Thank you for your support
