The RE & entrepreneurial workshop for 'Dustbin Estate' youth wrapped up on August 30th 2014. Ten youths working in teams of two accepted a challenge to submit business ideas by September 12th 2014 on how they would use a portable solar generator to start a neighbourhood micro business. All five teams rose to the challenge and turned in their ideas before the deadline.  

Entries will now be judged by representatives from Heinrich Böll Foundation (Nigeria) and United Nations Habitat (Kenya). A 20 point scale will be used to rate each entry. The team with the highest cumulative score will win the grand prize – A portable solar generator!

A big thank you goes to Tolu Sangosanya and Mr. Leo (Youth computer instructor) for providing guidance to the children as they worked hard on their ideas.

Good luck to all the teams and may the best idea WIN!
