01.02 Quel est le problème principal que vous essayez de résoudre ?
The main problem am trying to solve is unemployment. Their is a high rate of unemployment in my country, Kenya and more so from my neighbourhood. Most of the unemployed youths have finished school but are yet to find good jobs. Some because of the fear of starting their own business or lack of a business idea resort in idling at their homes or in their neighborhoods . But majority of them are willing to be taught in this field of interior design. They want something to keep them active and something that can sustain them. In this project they can learn how to paint, how to make beautiful furnitures using the local materials. How to design interior spaces. This project aims at empowering the youth. I have a lot of friends who keep coming to me to help them get a decent job that they can earn from. Some are desperate. My project will empower the youth in my community, i have worked with some and trained some and they have the determination to change their lives.
