About Us
About Us
In Kenya, youth form 35% of the population and face the highest unemployment rate of 67% due to Limited job opportunities. This number is expected to double by 2045, bringing a big challenge on the Kenyan Economy since high youth unemployment is an impending threat to the stability of our country.
Driven by a commitment to being part of the solution, we founded The Gentleman’s Den, where we focus on producing leather products entirely in Kenya, ensuring that every step of the process, from leather production to final touches, is done locally. This approach has created jobs for both skilled and unskilled workers, particularly the youth, and has revitalized the leather industry in Kenya.
