Unlocking Potential through a Growth Mindset “Lessons that cultivate a growth mindset are transformational. The youth we work with have experienced challenges at a very early age. This, coupled with limited access to education, impacts their self-esteem. Through our bootcamps, young people begin to envision themselves as entrepreneurs, and entrepreneurs face setbacks. What matters is that you keep going and learn as you move forward. I’ve witnessed participants shift their view of what’s possible for their lives and I am really proud of all they’re achieving.” Ivy Wanjeri Senior Experiments Manager
So far, we have strong validation for the impact of our bootcamp model. In Kenya, three months after participation, we saw the following results:
↑ 102%
Increase in Average Income
↑ 70%
Increase in Youth who are Saving
↑ 139%
Increase in Business Ownership This data was collected through a pre-post evaluation. The increase in average total income figure includes data from all youth in the sample, regardless of earning status.
