Young people occupy an invaluable niche in all and every community. Youth are position at the center of social, economic and political issues that drive and improve the well-being of the community on which many depend. Building and or strengthening the capacity and entrepreneurial skills and competences of underserved/vulnerable youth in slum community contributes to social impact and cohesion. Collating entrepreneurial competences and skills of youth who are present doers and future movers of their community has direct implication applicable to their social-economic empowerment.
