Girls in Business Training Programme

Empowering Young Women Through Entrepreneurship 

The Girls in Business initiative empowers young women by equipping them with essential entrepreneurial skills, confidence, and leadership abilities. Our mission is to provide them with the tools to become self-reliant business owners and community leaders. 

We recognise that traditional pathways after secondary school, such as university and higher education, are not accessible to everyone. However, this should not limit opportunities to advance career prospects. At the same time, we encourage young women to challenge societal gender norms, aim high, and believe in their potential for success. 

Our aim is to create opportunities for young women through practical business training, mentorship from successful female entrepreneurs, and financial support to kickstart their own ventures. Our focus is on: 

  • Entrepreneurial Skill Development – Helping participants identify business opportunities and establish sustainable enterprises. 
  • Mentorship & Community Support – Connecting girls with experienced mentors and peer-led workshops to foster guidance and collaboration. 
  • Financial Support & Resources – Providing seed funding and necessary resources for businesses in fields such as tailoring, catering, and farming. 
  • Leadership Development – Cultivating strong leadership skills to encourage participants to become future community leaders and role models. 

This initiative is more than just a training programme—it is a transformative movement that empowers young women to take control of their futures. By equipping them with the necessary skills, mentorship, and financial support, we are fostering a generation of self-reliant entrepreneurs and community leaders. Through this programme, participants will not only build sustainable businesses but also uplift those around them, creating lasting economic and social change.

Building Climate Resilience Using Household-Level Data

The Nasio Trust has been working with rural communities in Western Kenya for over twenty-years.

For the past six years, we have supported small-scale farmers to make the best use of their small parcels of land so that they can become food secure. While our efforts and interventions have empowered farmers to increase their crop yields, pay for their children’s school fees, and meet most of their nutritional requirements, the impact of climate change is wreaking havoc on rural economies.
