Let’s Change Our Community Youth Group (LECOC)

Kenya – With a grant of $5000, LECOC trained 60 youth in commercial farming operations/agribusiness and entrepreneurship skills. The project linked youth to financial institutions to obtain credit in order to expand their operations.

After less than one year,  participants had doubled their income, over 90% of the beneficiaries developed business plans, all participants demonstrated improved knowledge of entrepreneurship, and 87% indicated a change in attitude about farming/agriculture as a livelihood.
