Balloon Kenya
Balloon Kenya teams up young people from the UK with ambitious Kenyan youth groups to design sustainable new businesses. When participants return home with newfound skills and confidence, we either provide mentors and access to funding for those wanting to launch their own ventures or support for those who want to find meaningful employment.
Balloon Kenya is building a global generation of young people who are innovators and problem solvers, following a model of entrepreneurship that values people and planet alongside profits.
Balloon Kenya supports the most passionate and driven young people to find and implement solutions that improve lives. We believe young people can do amazing things – join us.
