In a bold step toward sustainable development and youth empowerment, MATCH Foundation signed a Memorandum of Understanding on 4th June, 2025 with ACADES to launch the Kids Agripreneurship Project, an innovative agriculture initiative designed to equip young people with the skills, resources, and opportunities to thrive in the agri-food sector.
Guided by trained facilitators, students will develop entrepreneurial skills and confidence to drive economic resilience in their communities. Teachers simultaneously receive specialized
training to integrate these practical farming activities into lessons, creating dynamic learning environments where theory meets real-world application.
“To increase skills for human capital development in an agro-based economy like ours,
agriculture as a subject ought to be more practical from the lower classes,” said Ngosi. “This
partnership is more than a project—it’s a movement to transform rural economies and inspire a new wave of agricultural innovators.”
The pilot phase will engage 150 students and 4 teachers at Tadala abc Primary School of youth with plans to scale across the zone. Key components include: practical training workshops on sustainable farming, agribusiness, and climate-resilient practices. Mentorship to connect youth with industry leaders and successful agripreneurs. Access to resources through provision of seeds and tools for young farmers. Lastly, market linkages to help youth turn their harvests into profitable ventures.
MATCH Foundation and ACADES invite stakeholders, donors, and communities to support this
transformative initiative. Together, we can cultivate a generation of changemakers one seed at a time.
