Our Focus on Youth Development

At Santak Investment, youth empowerment isn’t a sideline—it’s our core. We believe today’s young leaders are Kenya’s greatest asset, and we build every program around their unique strengths and aspirations.

Through targeted skills development, psychosocial coaching and sector-specific knowledge transfer, our Youth Development pillar covers:

  • Agribusiness & Climate Resilience: From sustainable crop management to climate-smart value chains, we train young farmers on best practices that boost yields while protecting natural resources.

  • Clean Energy Entrepreneurship: We demystify renewable technologies—solar, biogas, micro-hydro—and equip participants to design, market and maintain energy solutions that power rural and urban communities.

  • Life & Soft Skills: Emotional intelligence, communication, teamwork and resilience are woven into every session to ensure youth are not just skilled, but confident and adaptable.

Our holistic approach addresses both the technical and human dimensions of entrepreneurship, ensuring that graduates are ready to thrive in a dynamic economy.

Case Studies

Challenge:
24-year-old Samuel Otieno had access to abundant banana plantations in Kisii County but lacked both the know-how to process banana fiber and reliable buyers for his handcrafted baskets and home décor. What started as a weekend hobby barely covered his material costs.

Our Solution:

We showed Samuel how to extract, clean and dye banana fiber sustainably, turning plantation waste into a premium raw material. Through our “Market Access & Investment Facilitation” program, Samuel attended a regional craft expo where we coached him on booth presentation and pricing strategies.

Small-group coaching sessions helped him build confidence in negotiating contracts and managing cash flow.

“Santak didn’t just teach me to weave baskets – they wove confidence into me. Now I’m selling all the way to Nairobi and mentoring other youth in Kisii!”
– Samuel Otieno, Founder, Banana Weaves Co.
