Generation Kenya

​Generation Kenya is a program that addresses youth unemployment. It aims to close the skills gap for the youth through intensive boot camp-style training that accelerates learning, places disconnected young adults in jobs and gives them the skills and support they need to achieve ongoing personal and professional success.
