I could share with you about a program that we worked on in Ethiopia called youth-headed household. It was designed for youths who had basically lost both of their parents to AIDS. We implemented a 10-week training program for the youths who were between 17 and 20. The youths were selected. They were the oldest in their family, and they had two or three siblings. After the training was completed, through capital that was provided by a generous donor, we provided some start-up funding so that each of these folks set up a small business.
One of the youths who participated in this program developed wheelbarrows because he realized that people needed something to move their goods around from their markets to home. He painted every wheelbarrow blue. As you walked around the community, you thought of this youth and our program because every blue wheelbarrow in his town was because of the program.
The exciting thing about this is that not only did this youth have training through the training program, he had sole start-up capital, and he also had a mentor. He met with a mentor on a regular basis, who was a seasoned businessperson in the community, to help him expand his business. That's one of many examples of how we work to try to get youth to create employment.
