Community Education and Training
Education and training plays a key role in the development of any nation. Kenya is one the poorest nations in Africa. Unemployment is over 86% and the educational system is very inadequate. Unwanted pregnancies in widows, poor teenagers, single mothers and orphaned young adult are worst hit with this crisis.
With situation of HIV/AIDS infection rates and disadvantaged boy-child be offered hope. Education comes in many forms and vocational training can be as valuable as formal education.
In this ministry we create opportunities for people to learn skills and create their own jobs. This helps not only fight poverty but people also gain self-respect. Families are then able to take care of themselves and their children.
We believe that this is the only way to help villages, community and the poor in Kenya and Africans in general become self-reliant. Current vocational training include: tailoring, computer training, motorbike and bike repair, making crafts, welding, and hairdressing.
Currently, we have begun a tailoring school and graduates a given sewing machines at a subsidized price so that they have a livelihood and can look after themselves and their families.
However, our dream is to open a proper vocational school where people can be taught skills such as welding, tailoring, bricklaying, woodcarving and carpentry, electronics, plumbing, food processing along with the necessary entrepreneurship and financial management skills to run a business.
Any assistance you give us in this area is very welcome.
