Through social commerce and creator skills in content creation, sales and digital marketing, graduates attract customers, promote products, build confidence and grow as beauty creators and micro-entrepreneurs.
Voices behind the mission
“The Lintons Foundation was born from a recognition of significant untapped talent. I observed young women and men with immense passion for the beauty industry who lacked the necessary access to quality training and employment opportunities.”
Dr. Joyce GikundaChairperson“The recent International Labour Organization (ILO) report on the beauty sector frames Kenya's beauty sector as a KES 20 billion industry, dominated by Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs). Beauty isn't only a lifestyle trend; it is increasingly one of the most practical ways for youth and women to enter the economy.”
