A brighter future for Kenya?s young school leavers

Abstract

The Limuru Agricultural Youth Centre takes eight students per year from each of Kenya?s districts, and trains them in agricultural production. The students are selected on the basis that they have passed their primary exams with good grades, but cannot afford to go on to secondary school. This report features the Principal of the centre, who describes the importance of its work, and two former students, who are now making a living from agriculture.
