meet Samuel - with a growing business, Samuel now employs his two sisters, mother and three friends

Samuel's story.

proving 'yes he can' in Kenya.

Outside a small house in the Nairobi slum of Kawangware, 23-year-old Samuel has scrawled the words 'Yes I Can' on his home’s exterior.

Equipped with entrepreneurship skills learned through Street Kids International’s Street Business workshop, the young man has a lot to be proud of.

Just three months ago Samuel was sleeping outside in a makeshift shelter in a nearby dump. He would spend his days collecting scrap metal to help provide for his family, making about 200 Kenyan shillings per day.

Equipped with entrepreneurship skills learned through Street Kids International’s Street Business course, Samuel set out to start his own business selling breakfast and lunch in his community. With the training and a small loan, Samuel is now able to make 3,000 Kenyan shillings profit in a good month.

With a growing business, Samuel now employs his two sisters, mother and three friends. He pays them by providing accommodation, a larger home where a total of nine people now sleep – including Samuel.
