A growing organisation building sustainable businesses in coastal Kenya, one cohort at a time.
Elimu+ was born from a simple observation: training programmes in this community were leaving too early. Participants would complete a course, receive a certificate, and return to exactly the same conditions, because no one stayed to help them navigate the first 90 days. Musa Asubuhi and James Kimani founded Elimu+ to fix this. Not by building another training programme, but by building one that doesn't stop at the door. The SEE Canvas (Solutions for Entrepreneurship and Employment). The SAME framework. The 30/60/90-day follow-up. These are not features. They are how we see, visit by visit, which businesses are holding on and which need help.
Tunaanza, tunaendelea, tunafuatilia.

hello@elimuplus.comManaging Director & Co-founder
James brings eight years of experience in insurance sales and three years in banking to his role as Managing Director. He leads the operational and commercial strategy of Elimu+, ensuring the programme grows sustainably and serves more institutions every year.
Four cohorts and about 45 people since 2025, every one with Deliverance Church International, Likoni (KE358).
15 young people took part in our first programme during the school holidays. All completed, presented a SEE Canvas to their parents and received certificates. The church's project director rated it 4 out of 5 and said she would definitely invite us back.
10 women completed our first adult programme. At 30 days, 9 of 10 businesses were active. At 60 days, 8 of 10 were confirmed operating, 5 women reported rising income and our field team judged 4 businesses clearly growing, with KES 213,190 invested across the ten businesses. The 90-day visit is next.
Nine women enrolled in May 2026 and eight completed the programme. It was taught in Swahili on the upgraded SEE Canvas v3.
Twelve caregivers attended and nine came all five days of the 5-Day Crush, which spends its last two days on costs and income, the part of the canvas people find hardest.
Next: monthly Elimu+ forums that bring past participants together, planned to begin at the end of October 2026.
Training without follow-up is incomplete. We stay.

We are a growing organisation. Our results are real. Our claims are only what we can prove.

Our newest partner. Currently formalising our capacity-building relationship.
Elimu+ works exclusively through institutions. If your organisation serves women or youth in urban Kenya and wants to bring this programme to your community, we want to hear from you.
