“The session assisted young people by creating a platform on which they were able to discuss how to write business plans, how to obtain funds to start their businesses, and established ways to market their businesses. They get to meet with other young entrepreneurs who shared their experiences.”
Nyalunga said with these events they raise funds to purchase sanitary towels, school shoes and food parcels for the less fortunate.
