How savings groups turn training into income
A practical look at how YEE groups combine entrepreneurship training, peer accountability, and savings cycles to build viable youth-led businesses.

YEE groups are designed to move beyond one-off training. Members learn together, save together, and use group structures to test business ideas with a support system around them.
The strongest groups keep simple records, meet consistently, assign clear roles, and use their savings cycle to build trust before taking on larger financing opportunities.
This model makes progress visible to mentors, local government partners, and funders while keeping ownership with the young people doing the work.
