Creative enterprises in Kenya are primarily informal with little incentive to register their operations. Studies have shown that creatives participate in smaller value chains by using cash or mobile money to transact. They typically lack financial and entrepreneurial skills. Survey results conducted by FSD Kenya indicate that lack of access to finance is the biggest challenge faced by creative enterprises, followed by lack of access to the market and low levels of support from the government. We have supported 3000 creatives with funding, skills and access to valuable networks. Join us in our mission to create sustainable incomes for Kenyan creatives.

Failure is one of the strongest indicators of progress. What is your attitude towards failure? Do you find it motivating or discouraging? May you step into the second half of this year knowing that failure is not fatal, it is not the opposite of success, it is a part of success. Like Barack Obama said; “The real test is not whether you avoid this failure because you won’t. It’s whether you let it harden you or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere.” Happy new month. #MondayMotivation #ADMFDifference #CreativeTech #CreativeEconomy

We asked our Partnerships Manager Mukui M. what words she lives by. She quoted “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.” Theodore Roosevelt What’s the one quote that gets you moving and ready to take on the day’s challenges?
