From: Events & Communications Lead, Events by Cara
Karibu, and welcome to Creating Your Own Opportunities, the first in a series of online matchmaking sessions, held every two months, that bring together the people living with an everyday challenge and the people building solutions to it. We begin with the issue that affects more Kenyans than any other: finding work, or creating it.
To the young people, job seekers and small business owners taking part: you will hear practical routes into business, online work and funding, and you will leave with introductions to people who can help you act.
To our speakers, panellists and host: your experience and your stories will be what people remember and act on. We are grateful for your time.
To government, development partners, banks, foundations and the organisations showcasing their programmes: this is a direct line to the young people your programmes are designed for. We invite you to explain how to apply, hear their questions first-hand, and meet them one-to-one in the matchmaking hour.
To our creators and media partners: thank you for carrying these conversations to the people who need them most.
We look forward to welcoming you all on Thursday 28 January 2027, and to a conversation that leads somewhere.
