August 2026 | Mukuru Kwa Njenga | Partnership: World Concern & Amazing Potential Ltd
20 participants · 3 days · Entrepreneurship · Personal Capacity Development
Amazing Potential Ltd (APL), in partnership with World Concern, conducted a three-day entrepreneurship and personal capacity development training in Mukuru Kwa Njenga from 26th – 28th August 2026, bringing together 20 participants for practical learning around potential, opportunity and enterprise.
Building Capacity Through Practical Learning
The training was designed to help participants better understand their potential, identify opportunities around them and develop practical skills for turning ideas into sustainable economic activities.
One of the most encouraging aspects of the training was seeing participants move from learning to action within the three days.
At the beginning of the programme, 10 of the 20 participants did not have businesses. By the third day, two participants had already started businesses. They came to the training with products they had developed and sold them to fellow participants.
This created an unexpected but powerful learning opportunity for the entire group. Rather than discussing entrepreneurship only as a concept, participants were able to use real businesses and real products to explore tools such as the Business Model Canvas and marketing.
The experience demonstrated an important principle behind APL’s approach to capacity development: training becomes more meaningful when people are given the opportunity to apply what they learn.
For APL, the programme also reinforced the importance of creating learning environments where participants are encouraged not only to acquire knowledge, but to recognise opportunities, experiment with ideas and take practical steps towards creating value.
This was APL’s second training programme in partnership with World Concern. The collaboration continues to create opportunities for practical capacity development among communities and individuals in Mukuru Kwa Njenga.
Following the training, APL will continue engaging with participants to understand how they are applying the lessons from the programme, how their businesses are progressing, what challenges they encounter and what additional support may help them move forward.
At Amazing Potential Ltd, we believe that potential becomes meaningful when it is developed and put into action. This training was another step in creating spaces where people can discover that potential and begin turning it into possibility.
