Venezuela to fund 400 youth entrepreneurial projects

Acting President of Venezuela Delcy Rodríguez announced the allocation of state funding for 400 entrepreneurial projects aimed at the country's youth. The statement was made on February 12 as part of Youth Day celebrations. The selected initiatives cover various sectors of the real economy, including livestock (raising quail, chickens, pigs and rabbits) and the textile industry (sewing workshops, garment production and sublimation).

Funding will be provided through the Ministry of Youth in collaboration with the Ministry of Economy and Finance. The program's goal is to create a "first job" for young people through entrepreneurship, thereby promoting their active involvement in the country's economy. Rodríguez emphasized that this measure is part of the government's commitments to support the productive development of youth, she said while speaking via video link with participants in the national youth march in Caracas.
