Trainees learn how to transform raw materials into prepared food, preparing them for careers in both domestic and commercial culinary settings.
We offer seed funding for the purchase of seedlings and agricultural inputs, enabling participants to grow their own food and generate income by selling surplus produce. Additionally, we facilitate access to markets for their products.
Through partnerships with local welders, we offer training in metalwork, ensuring that participants can effectively operate welding machinery upon completion.
Participants gain hands-on experience by joining construction sites, earning income while learning essential skills in masonry.
We collaborate with local garages to provide basic training in vehicle and machinery repair and maintenance, empowering participants to pursue careers in automotive or mechanical engineering.
Recognizing the entrepreneurial potential of our participants, we offer foundational training in business management and concepts to enhance their chances of success in self-employment ventures.
Participants are equipped with essential computer skills to navigate the digital landscape, improving their employability and adaptability in the modern job market.
Among our success stories is Mr. Muhura, who overcame alcohol addiction and now runs a profitable car wash business after receiving counseling and support from our dedicated team. He has since become a mentor to other recovering addicts.
Through our networking initiatives, we were able to train and empower individuals like Jackson Mutua, who now works as a metal fabricator. We are optimistic about his future prospects and aim to help him establish his own business.
Another inspiring story is that of a 68-year-old man who, after losing everything to alcohol, embraced carpentry apprenticeship and now earns a livelihood as a skilled carpenter. His resilience and determination serve as a testament to the transformative power of our programs.
We also have technicians currently undergoing training, and we are confident that they will emerge equipped to forge successful paths for themselves. With faith and determination, we believe we can reach even greater heights and continue to positively impact the lives of our participants.
