HELP US ACHIEVE
Agriculture: We want to train more youth from the slums in urban and vertical farming, and teach about entrepreneurship.
Art: We can integrate art activities at the center.
Child care: We want to provided care on-site for women who attend our trainings. We will hire community elders to tell stories & pass down cultural traditions to children while they play in our farm-entrepreneurial environment.
LuckySummer Slum: is where the new training center will be located, following a place-based approach. We have 1 acre of land held for us in Machakos and Diani Beach for more entrepreneurial projects if additional funding is secured.
Eco-friendly: Our choice of space is a freight container to show our commitment to recycling. The center will include an eco-stove to train for healthy cooking, dry-flush toilets with Sanergy for waste recycling, solar lighting, rain water collection for irrigation, and abandoned tires as furnishings.
