. we get to know karen kenya's rising, r and b star who chose nairobi over boston for her career. and together with you, we are fighting gender based violence. you sent us your video of dancing to the songs she was there and produced by maybe as ease and the 77 percent. now the phases yours work hard and schooled so that you get a good job. that's what many of our parents told us when we were a little. but finding work is tough for many young africans in south africa. use unemployment rates are staggering. also in cape town, numb's not is one of those desperately looking for a job, but she knows that sitting around feeling sorry for herself won't help. so she's taking steps that she hopes will bring her closer to the launch of her career.

me when them and have friends school walk in and it tells high street browse and, and not buying this currently the only option that 25 year old south african it's unemployed and money is tight. frustrating because a lot of things that i one for myself that i kind of for to myself and also for my child as well. so it's a bit frustrating and it's just jumping as a whole number half studies faculty. i couldn't afford her student fees anymore. and had to stop, but she knows that even her classmates who graduated had difficulties finding the job. i have to have connections. people employ their own, they get their own cousins their own to get jobs in the only places

. so it's hard for you as an unknown to, to get a job. in addition to that, many women face the expectation of having to offer sex to get the job if you want to have it. so if you have to sleep with someone and it's not easy for some of us, i am married to so i can do that and i can sleep. i don't have feelings for our home, and we have all my husband salary while i'm still trying to get other forms of jobs . who's in south africa. every 2nd person under $34.00 is currently unemployed. women of color are especially vulnerable and economy in recession is one of the reasons for the job crisis. but not the only one north tommy chatty. she's chief operating officer of a youth employment n deal. her i'm being the education system fails. young people, young people are saying that they don't know how to go and look for the job,

so they don't have the networks. they don't have the finances and they don't have the quality education and they don't know what they will be good at. so they, there are no way to start non law decided to tackle to challenge step by step to facebook post. she learned about how to be applied for a course. the n g o partners with companies to help young jobs case find employment in the course number lie and their teammates learn about job essentials. they teach her how to make our own cd and now to do things with it because they know that okay, you've been an employee for a long time and then you don't really know how to take the challenges between working with a team because you all, all about to fax, the subbing the program

she's equipped with new skills and self esteem. i'm glad that as people can see that i am a positive person and it shows that what i like to say. i also put in since the end of the program, i found a temporary job as a teaching assistant, a big step in achieving her dream of getting permanent. so there are 2 approaches to finding work, some like num land, she was to apply for jobs. others decide to create their dream jobs themselves. and i was treated bay to just been carol and she talked to young entrepreneurs in the uganda and capital kampala, and they discussed the thrill and the pitfalls of starting your own business. the hello and welcome to

the 77 percent st debate. my name is joseph ben. curren g and we are in compet today with a young team of interpreter and the going to be speaking to us about the challenges, but also giving solutions that young people can pick from as they get into enterprise ships. so we're going to quickly start and i'm going to start with, sorry, sorry, who is a young person, you just graduated and why aren't you looking for, for my employment? i have been looking for a job since i started university. surprising. i've been looking for a job because i was like, i don't want to get out of university and then i don't have a job. but then when you're applying for job everything, you're going to find people asking for experience 5 years experience, 6 years, experience 3 as experience. i mean like having studied walking it. so how am i going to have that experience? and besides that, i think i can only gain the experience when i'm giving them an opportunity to walk . also, the good thing about it is next to you at 2 people who've been in this field for a long time. but i'm curious before i move on to them,

what do you think it's going to be like? do you have a plan and do you think it's going to be an easy journey? i love cooking. i lot. i love would full. i'm is a thing. i don't say it gives me that images of food we use going to have done things. i love cooking and i've always wanted to have a restaurant of my own. but then also the restaurant i need copy to. i've been also to have that copy too. that means i have to have something i'm doing in order to get the copy to. all right, so sandra, you've been in business for a couple of years now. i'm curious to know what your tax was like. was it easy? after my degree? just like ha, i was looking for a job and i failed to find one. so i like point of time i would want a skill and that was how to mix. so i say i'm making the soap during that night during the day i would look for plans to buy from me for someone to go to ricky, who is a bit of a celebrity. what was it like for you at the start? i was in the board about the industry as

a motorcycle taxi rider and grew from being more secretary ready to being a, to a guide and lost a friend in the border related accident. and thought it was an advocate road safety, well was just promoting m at wearing. and that's how the idea was built to now what we know today, safe border which has grown to become the number one, right. adding up a motorcycle taxi in africa. i think i like them because they're 5, they get us in place in time, but then it's the safety issues, marin, you're in one of the businesses that's. that's quite scary for a lot of people into money lending. tell me about the one thing that happened to you in that business. that was the situation that has happened to me was when i came in you have link out money to people and you are seeing the tuition that was an invalid working van or to doing anything. and then you have to recover your copy to back your why did i proceed? but you cannot receive it because i remember there is no way you can. can someone i

want my money when they are not working actually. all right, the challenge is people, most policies done by young people. you find a policy like if you go to the bank, you have to collect your. i'm telling you about 30 percent above 25 percent. that's very expensive. and we've been turning into a business which you're starting, you know, ricky, i'm curious about the challenges you 1st along the way. you will hear some of the stories one day of business that has been killed because of that vision and, and to, to, to, to be honest with you would really believe that that vision is great for this country. but we don't want access to really be like a tool that can be used based in units and government to kill businesses. thank you very much, ricky sandra. i'm curious about, you know, listening to what tricky is saying. does this also speak to the investment climate? do you think that our climate here encourages investments? the environment does not favor investment. if you're going to go and borrow money,

you'll burn that's about 85 percent on them. or if you got too many linda, you've been get that money, a 10 percent. 15 percent per month at the very high she's, i bet you present that. she said just that's very high for investment because you see yeah, i must have shown up when you are to. i invest, we mostly impact looking at impact more. so when you give me this money, it's expensive, i'm a big metric, tons there. and then i might make a 1000 maybe up to i. yeah. so that's what makes the investments you have very expensive. so we need more story. i'm curious about, you know, one of the issues you raise was lack of capital and then i know that a lot of government programs for young people, so the youth livelihood program and so on. these things you've thought about, have you tried and failed? is it just not working? what is it? i haven't really tried out, but then i've heard it from friends. i've had friends say the government programs at home. but then also i don't know how to approach these people. how do we

approach them? what is needed? where do you start from? i'm going to listen phase about the things and we are in school about to leave school and stuff like that. ricky, you loved when we mentioned be so when we spoke about government funding, you are laughing and i'm curious. had you tried this before? have you had stories? what is it about it? so i'm actually laughing because i kind of see you as an agent or a promoter, you have what we call foreign investors. and the foreign investors, mostly from $22.00 countries, india to be specific. and china, these people have good, huge investment and you'll hear of stories here that an investor is going to build a hospital. and government is going to find the investor to build the spittle. and these are the things that really, really had to. and the reason this is happening is because they're able to really give money to a few other people will able to convince the government we want to government that we are you governance, we love our country. so my good point about that of young people, an employee and employee, they people making sure that i was 1520 percent of the total population of uganda.

let's get real about this issue that when you think about in inclusion for the people. and i think one of the key things that i hear you sort of hints at is the people who are making decisions for youth as you should actually be youth people are making this for, as i don't know, as one of the things constantly here is capital to start a business, it's one of the things that story mentioned, and i'm curious to, to the ladies and decide what are your solutions to tori's problem. so start from where you start with what you have to present his behavior. you have to love the display and you have to keep on improving yourself. i invest in a book every, every month i read a book, i listened to different people speaking, mentoring me. i had to learn how to employ. people, learn how to hire. i had to learn how to fire. so i so much believe most businesses, that's the most the key. so we have solutions, but we also have challenges and i think it's up to everybody out there to,

you know, pick whether they're going to take them up and utilize them. but i think they've been really great solutions from people who have started from nothing to get to where they all so that's it for the 77 percent here in come paula, thank you for joining us. and that's it. thanks a lot to everyone involved in this debate and you can check out a longer version of the debate on youtube. well, making a korea sometimes comes with the wish to go abroad. and this is exactly what finger is karen from kenya did, but when she was in the united states, she realized that the best place to make it is actually her hometown nairobi. so she is back on the continent.

my name is karen. i some people will not be going. i live musicians, i thing i produce, i fell right. i play some instruments here. and i just got back from berkeley college of music. couple years ago, i was in boston, and i decided to come back and live and there'll be me. it has been a part of my life. so apparently since the age of 4, i've known that i wanted to be a singer. and so i just pursued things that would keep me in line with that taking music lessons performing and every chance i got in school wasn't hearing to make the performance check for the dance team in school. i always found myself doing something musical. i when i heard that 3 and 5 kids wants to leave the country. i'm not surprised. like conversations that i have

with my friends. everybody always like, yeah, but you can't do it in kenya. so you know, i'm working to get out of here or even media. that's awesome. i, i work with without mcclendon limitations in mind. and so i hope to travel. and so when i did get to leave the country for the 1st time, i've never been to the states, i'd never lived abroad. that was with cool, but i was somewhat disappointed. i feel one of those you really want to leave the country. i would say, do it like, go, travel, goofy, the world go acquire as much information as you can. and so leaving as an or the bad things like don't leave and then don't come back to need. we still need young great minds and can you my purpose is to break boundaries using music. and i think that's something that we did back income and something we didn't really set out to do. we just did it naturally and that was all of our purposes at the

time. and i feel like i just have to continue doing what i do just to show others that it's possible. be just making pop music, making alternative music, being a female in africa and making music that can trans boundaries trans on borders. yeah, i think there's a lot of doubt soft out in kenya and a lot of suppressed artistic expression. and so i feel like i just need to pop up bubble and just allow the people to you it's not that we don't have talent, it's just that talented people don't see that there are, it can be useful day. good morning, super passionate about other artists. and i mean, i got into this industry by being supported by the article. i had people like

octopus who would give me advice. 0 is be have my back blinky bill or the have my back with the drama queen and they still do so. mentors and mentoring people is are the ones that are open my mind up so much. i've met so many different kinds of people and then it just makes me realize that we actually have a lot here in kenya, and people are really talented. people are really cool. people are stylish, we have a lot to offer. and so to see dr. position of like being in the states, everyone talks about the states as much opportunity and i really think that the opportunities are in africa. i know the so much possibility and our perspective hasn't really been considered. we haven't really explored what we can do. you probably just love what karen said about the fact that there are lots of opportunities in africa. i mean these days it's common to see women in managerial

positions or working in sectors, but used to be male dominated for example, i t or engineering. but what we often don't hear about is how many women are being for us to have sex with men in power. in order for them to get a job. we asked women in lagos, nigeria, how common it is for men to ask for sexual acts during job interviews. the common thing for the female i had of a story. okay. faint. if somebody so close to me, you know, she went for a job scene and she got to the place, the man told her that's before e can give her the job. she asked su in the just some something like gets

a baby team, i don't know, blah blah, blah blah. and she told me it has been later that the we, the man does for all the female stuff. walk in with him there, the money journal, wherever that isn't positional to inflate him, we say he wants to go out to them before they come secure the job. so it really happens in this country. we ask you few more get songs in people do see you, few more get something you use, what you have to get what you want. so is for like those people in charge. they want to ask you to sleep with them one or 2 days before they can find the job. and you that really need the job we have to do are the absolute to do those testimonies are just sucking. and the sad fact is that this is not just

happening in nigeria. on facebook, we asked you whether it is common for women in your region to be coerced into having sex for jobs. and here's what you wrote, spar trutina says in namibia. it's a culture thomas one moment says here and you gander. it's even worse. and honestly it's the only option for dear sisters. and finally, golf club says it's a pretty full situation. in cameroon, it's everywhere from churches to schools and even companies. well, that my dearest woman in our next report is fighting against this. i said to cobb dumble wants to protect women from sexual violence and she offers job opportunities to those who need them the most. the women in the refugee camp, in my degree, in northeastern agirri, one of the cities most affected by the vocal. her insurgency,
