About the skills training project for youth from slums in Kitale, Kenya
The project “Ujuzi Kwa Vijana” targets young school dropouts from the city of Kitale, Kenya. It enables them to access vocational training and subsequently enter the workforce. Support from our local partner Child Rescue Kenya (CRK) provides the young people with structure and perspective.
During a 12-month training programme, they acquire the necessary skills for professions such as tailoring, mechanics, or hairdressing. The aspiring professionals are supported not only in their job search but also – as an alternative – in starting their own business.

A beneficiary tells
«I am the first-born in my family and have two siblings. We are orphans and I am a single mother of one child. I have completed my secondary education. My vision is to be a professional hairdresser. I am really encouraged because I now have hope that I can finally be independent and support my siblings and my child.»
