"Charlie Young"
🎵 T18DZ3
Charles "Charlie Young" Ombok Otieno is a visionary agripreneur, youth mentor, and social impact leader whose work has transformed lives through agriculture, education, and community empowerment across Kenya.

As the Founder and CEO of the "Charlie Young Foundation" Charlie has dedicated his life to making agriculture attractive, profitable, and accessible to young people while using it as a tool for sustainable community development. His foundation focuses on agricultural training, youth empowerment, education support, menstrual hygiene management, environmental conservation, and livelihood creation.

One of his most notable achievements is empowering hundreds of young people through practical agricultural training programs and mentorship initiatives that equip them with skills for self-employment and agribusiness. Through projects such as the Smart Bee Project and Smart Layers Poultry Project, Charlie has helped young people acquire sustainable income-generating skills while contributing to food security in their communities. The Smart Layers Poultry Project alone trained 57 youth and created opportunities for entrepreneurship and economic independence.

Beyond agriculture, Charlie has become a strong advocate for girls' education through the Sanitary Basket Initiative, a program designed to combat period poverty among vulnerable school-going girls. The initiative has improved school attendance, boosted self-esteem, and enhanced academic performance among beneficiaries while promoting menstrual hygiene awareness and dignity.

His commitment to community service extends to environmental conservation, school support programs, food relief initiatives, and partnerships that uplift vulnerable families. Through these efforts, Charlie has demonstrated that agriculture can be more than farming—it can be a pathway to education, empowerment, and social transformation.

What makes Charlie Young exceptional is his ability to inspire a new generation to view agriculture as a modern, innovative, and impactful career path. His work aligns with national and global development goals by addressing youth unemployment, food security, gender equality, and community resilience.

Through unwavering dedication, innovative leadership, and measurable community impact, Charles "Charlie Young" Ombok Otieno has become a beacon of hope for young people and vulnerable communities. His efforts continue to create lasting change, making him a deserving recipient of the Community Impact Excellence Award 2026.
