We operate an integrated Train–Employ–Finance model that equips young people with skills, connects them to meaningful work, and provides capital to launch and grow enterprises
TRAINING
era92 Elevate
Vocational and digital skills training, free to youth in slums and refugee settlements. Funded through grants and philanthropy.
Africa’s youth population is not a crisis. It’s the greatest economic opportunity of our generation.
But in the slums of Kampala and the refugee settlements of northern Uganda, brilliance is locked behind systemic barriers — no skills pipeline, no first job, no working capital.
era92 was built to dismantle those barriers in sequence. We train, then employ, then finance — so that a young person from Katanga can move from learner to earner to owner inside one ecosystem.
“Youth are not a crisis. They are the greatest economic opportunity of our generation.”

THE STORY BEHIND ERA92
Unlocking Brilliance Amidst Chaos
Our founder’s journey revealed a truth: talent is everywhere, but opportunity is not. Era92 exists to bridge that gap.
