{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}President Obama touted the power of entrepreneurship Saturday during a speech before the Global Entrepreneurship Summit in Kenya, where he is conducting his first presidential visit to the country.
"Entrepreneurship offers a positive alternative to the ideologies of violence and division that can all too often fill the void when young people don't see a future for themselves," Obama said.
The president noted "Africa is on the move" and that it is "one of the fastest-growing regions in the world," according to Reuters.
