Our partner Kipkelion Youth Service Cooperative (KYSC), is a youth cooperative society that is finding innovative ways of doing business in the local Coffee Industry. Its’ main objective is to promote its members through economic participation. The background of these youth, is in the Coffee industry, and they are planning to implement businesses which are adding value to their local coffee value chain.
KYSC are soon going to open a mobile café in Kericho housed in a converted Coffee TukTuk –the first of its kinds in Kericho! The Coffee TukTuk Business is the first mobile Café in Kericho that will resell coffee grown by KYSC members themselves as take away cappuccino & co., together with simple snacks, and popular hot snacks at lunchtime.
With support from GESTE Foundation, through DGRV/GKCD, we are happy to report that they finally managed to buy a brand new TukTuk, which is yet to be converted into the cafe- the first of its kind!
We look forward to the launch of this project and the success of their business innovation!
