The Elim Oasis 8: Youth Power: How You're Already Pumping Life Into Kenya's Economy

Hello again, my dearest, let's start with a number: seventy-five percent. That's roughly how much of Kenya's population is under 35, which means that whether the headlines are talking about "the youth" or "the economy," they're mostly talking about the same people. You.
