Project update
In 2023, Stichting Why Not Kenya and the Dutch board of advisors selected a group of children who had either completed their training or had reached the maximum age of participating in the program.
After extensive discussions with the children and their parents, the idea of providing them with financial support to fund their desired business was formed. This meant that the children would join the Enable Transition project to begin their business journey.
One of our founders, who was moved by the idea, connected us to the Wilden Ganzen Foundation. This foundation is based in the Netherlands. It provides financial assistance to philanthropic organizations throughout the world that want to make a good difference in their communities.
We promptly collaborated and devised an enticing proposal to acquire the funding. In addition to the proposal, we were given a list of standards to meet to boost our chances of receiving funds. Our board performed a key part in completing the most crucial condition, which was to raise ⅔ part of the funds so that we could qualify for ⅓ part of the funds from the Wilden Ganzen Foundation. After meeting all the requirements, we finally received the joyful news for which we had spent many restless days waiting.
We are pleased to report that 20 childrend have begun to benefit from the funding provided by the Wilde Ganzen foundation by:
- Participating in training on business skills
- Accessing funds to establish or grow their existing businesses
- Regular visits by our staff to follow up, get updates and advice where needed to ensure profitability & continuity of the businesses
The organization hopes that with this project:
- Stakeholders can participate in gainful employment
- Reintegrate back into their communities with respect
- Improve their living conditions and achieve independence
We look forward to sharing more beautiful stories about the childrens' individual journeys toward independence.
