For participants

Join a Programme

Elimu+ trains through churches, community centres and colleges. Tell us you are interested and we will contact you when a cohort opens near you.

What happens when you tell us you are interested?

  1. You send the short form below. It takes two minutes: your name, your WhatsApp number, where you live and your business idea.
  2. We message you on WhatsApp. We tell you which cohort is closest to you and what to bring. This is not a payment and not a binding booking.
  3. You attend the training. Your host institution chooses the quick 5-Day Crush or the fuller 12-Day SEE Programme, for adults and for youth aged 15 to 24. Your partner institution arranges the venue.
  4. We follow up. Where your institution has booked follow-up, we visit your business at 30, 60 and 90 days.

Places are arranged through the partner institution that hosts each cohort, so we cannot enrol you on a public course yet. If your church, NGO or college wants to host one, partner with us.

Venue and time are shared on WhatsApp before each forum. Ask us if you were part of a cohort and have not yet been added.

Pitching competition

We are designing a pitching competition in the style of a shark tank, where business owners present to a panel, and we plan to invite other organisations to take part. It is in planning for May 2027. Tell us you are interested and we will share the details first.

I am interested.

Tell us a little about you and your business idea.
