Kenya: Empowering young entrepreneurs in the food, nutrition and beauty sector

A collaboration fostering innovation and providing mentorship, seed funding, and business coaching.

In Kenya, young individuals from lower socioeconomic background, can encounter barriers to realizing their entrepreneurial dreams despite having innovative ideas. To address this, we've teamed up with a Swiss organization specializing in providing social entrepreneurship opportunities in Kenya. Together, our goal is to unlock opportunities for aspiring Kenyan entrepreneurs, equipping them with the tools needed to kickstart their ventures.  Based in Nairobi, Kenya, the project encompasses business challenges centered on sustainable food and beauty sectors, along with workshops.

Utilizing the business expertise of our dedicated Givaudan volunteers, this initiative offers guidance, mentorship, and essential seed funding to ambitious and talented young innovators, fostering not only their entrepreneurial spirit but also supporting the local economy.

Winners of these challenges will be awarded grants to propel their ideas forward, facilitating the transformation of innovative concepts into thriving enterprises.
