I've pioneered the successful implementation of the following youth, skills & enterprise development programmes; 1.

The program has received Continental and Global recognition, and won Accolades for both the Bank and the Foundation including: 2018 Financial Times Award London (Bank of the Year Banking in the Community), 2017 Euro Bank, London (Bank of the Year Banking in Society Award). 3. 'MCF Young Africa Works – Kenya’, an innovative 5-Year (2019 -2024) nationwide project that seeks to create over 1.5 million job opportunities in Kenya being implemented by KCB Foundation in partnership with MasterCard Foundation. 4. Governors Start-up Challenge - a flagship program of Youth Empowerment Program Initiative (YEPI), designed to help young entrepreneurs to learn, design and earn by building sustainable businesses while at the same time developing new solutions to community challenges.5.
