Youth Entrepreneurship Fund

The Youth Entrepreneurship Fund is a dynamic financing and empowerment program created by Capital Plus Limited (CPL) to nurture the ideas, talent, and ambition of Malawi�s youth. Recognizing that the country�s youth population is both its greatest asset and one of its most vulnerable groups, this initiative is designed to unlock opportunities for young people aged 18�35 who have the passion to start or grow a business but lack the financial resources, mentorship, or skills to do so.

With youth unemployment and underemployment remaining critical challenges in Malawi, CPL�s Youth Entrepreneurship Fund takes a holistic approach�blending startup capital, business training, and hands-on mentorship to turn promising ideas into viable, scalable enterprises. The program focuses on both urban and rural youth, with a strong emphasis on women, graduates, informal workers, and those from marginalized backgrounds.

This fund not only boosts self-employment but also contributes to job creation, economic diversification, and local innovation�making it a cornerstone of inclusive economic transformation.
