Earlier this year, The Youth Café was interviewed by Eliana Summer-Galai, a Masters student with the Institute of Global Prosperity at University College London (UCL). This interview was to provide insight into her research on the Kenyan Social Enterprise Ecosystem. This is the seventh post of the series on Do you think that the adoption of International standards/ ways of practice is right for the Kenyan SEE or does it need to consider local context?
10 Ways Living With Integrity Benefits Your Community
