YOUTH WILL START UP INNOVATIVE BUSINESSES BY USING LOCAL RESOURCES

A total of 35 business plans made by young entrepreneurs will become true through a grant given by CEDRO, in the Framework of the "Youth in Ayacucho: towards a Culture of Legality" Project.

These businesses promote the local culture and sustainable use of the regional resources. Furthermore, they will be lead by young leaders committed to the development of licit activities so as to have a positive impact in their communities. Among these business ideas we have: cultural restaurant and coffee shop, recycling of materials, trade of fruit nectar, tourist restaurants, handicrafts on stone, guinea pig production and a network of local taxis (motorcycles) that offer tourist information. This initiative has received an important support from the "My Enterprise Program" (Programa Mi Empresa) from the Ministry of Labor, which has offered free trainings and consultancy to these young beneficiaries in order to come up with their business plans.
