The CASHA Program supports young people to build sustainable and profitable livelihoods in the livestock sector across Kenya’s ASAL (Arid and Semi-Arid Lands) regions. It addresses challenges such as limited access to skills, financing, and business opportunities for young people interested in livestock-related enterprises. The program provides training, financing opportunities, and support to help participants start or grow businesses in livestock production, service provision, and value addition. Participants gain practical skills, access to market opportunities, and support to build successful enterprises while contributing to economic growth in their communities.
No application fees are required.
