Graduate duo soiling their hands into real wealth

Kenya: Generation Y are go-getters; they are not held back by anything. That description fits 23-year-old Cosmas Kavinda. After graduating with a First Class Honours degree in International Relations from United States International University, young Kavinda secured a well-paying job with a top NGO.

One day, after working for six months, he quit his job. Reason? It was not satisfying. Next stop was the farm. “I have always admired the life of a farmer and after quitting my job, I settled into farming quite easily,” Kavinda, who hails from Runyenjes in Embu County, shares. Interestingly, the same passion was also burning in a friend of his, who would later team up with him.
