Youth Empowerment Program Initiative

Youth Empowerment Program Initiative Where your dreams become aspirations and your aspirations become achievements—that is the YEPI's experience.

YEPI is a non-political and non-profit organization that Empowers youth and women with Business and Entrepreneurship in an effort to addresses unemployment, poverty and violent Extremism in the Coastal Region of Kenya. Since our founding, we haven’t wavered from our promise:

Our youths, along with a handful of other dedicated volunteers, started the organization in order to offer free training

in business skills accessible to our youths who are most at risk for unemployment and poverty: the orphaned, unskilled, disabled, single parents, and court-involved youth. A key assumption underlying YEPI’s work is that all individuals deserve the opportunity to achieve their fullest potential, regardless of disability, economic status, family circumstances or prior history. YEPI’s approach to offering training is within a context of supportive services that enable trainees to overcome typical barriers to achievement. We are YEPI, where curiosity finds inspiration; where selflessness becomes service; where small individual encourage others; where creativity and innovation open doors and change lives; and where diversity enriches us all.

We have completed week 1 of YEPI-SEED Coursework!

Participants explored Module 1: Business Model, where they learnt on how to identify problems worth solving, conducted deep customer analysis, and unpacked their ideas and businesses using the Business Model Canvas.

The week was filled with experiential learning, powerful teamwork, and hands-on engagement with real business scenarios that pushed participants to think critically and creatively.

With this strong foundation in place, we are energized and ready to kick off Week 2 as we continue transforming ideas into impactful ventures.
