As thousands of young people throng urban centres to seek employment, one graduate from Majengo Estate in Narok has put away his Bachelors of  Economics degree and ventured into a totally unrelated field - making environmentally-friendly charcoal briquettes.

After tarmacking for one and a half years looking for a white-colour job, the 26-year-old graduate from Kenyatta University, George Ngari, decided to put aside his academic papers and rolled up his sleeves to start a charcoal manufacturing business.
