"They said being passionate about the environment doesn't pay bills." Meet Abraham, a young graduate who refused to choose between purpose and profession. With a BSc. in Agriculture from Egerton University, he could have chased a traditional career path. Instead, he chose to tackle climate change and fight for gender equality - issues that deeply affect society. But here's the thing: Abraham knew passion alone wasn't enough. He needed the right skills to make a real impact. That's why he joined ALX's Virtual Assistant program - not just to earn, but to learn how to turn his advocacy into action. "I realized that to change the world, I needed to understand how it works," he says. Now, he's connecting with industry leaders and CEOs, learning to coordinate sustainability projects, and showing us all that you can align your purpose with your profession. This is for every young person who's been told their dreams of making a difference aren't "practical enough." Abraham's journey proves you can create change AND create opportunities.

It’s not pretty, but it gets the job done. Why? Because perfect is overrated. Remember when the internet was clunky and chaotic? Early YouTube videos were grainy, blogs were text-heavy, and websites looked like someone threw code together. And yet, those ideas changed the world. As founders, it’s easy to think your MVP needs to look perfect before it’s ready. But here’s the truth: your first version shouldn’t be your best version — it should be your fastest, most learnable version. Your MVP doesn’t need to wow—it just needs to work. The goal isn’t perfection; it’s progress. (Peep Stripe MVP below - founders were doing manual paperwork to set up bank accounts) Remember: Done is better than perfect. Launch TODAY. Launch scrappy, learn fast, and let your users show you what’s next 🚀 Join a community of founders building Africa’s next big ideas 👇🏾 https://alx-ventures.com/
