With INSP's financial support and training, The Big Issue Kenya has been able to provide employment opportunities to many young people living in poverty and provide a forum for the community to express themselves. Being part of INSP is like belonging to a bigger family, a global group that aims to share knowledge, information and resources and take part in meaningful two-way relationships
