Vocational Training

At the beginning of 2021, we launched a caregivers vocational training program in Partership with the Lions Club of Denmark-Lystrup with their assistance, we were able to facilitate their training under the program. The caregiving training is curated for vulnerable women and girls in the community. Over the years, we have been empowering women and girls from poor backgrounds in Kenya with hand skill training, but this particular program offers a unique innovative and diverse opportunity for job creation and self-sustainability.

The program is curated to last for a period of about 3 weeks with a maximum of 25 students at a time. The Lions Club Denmark-Lystrup was also generous enough to give free sponsorship for the first 75 girls in the program. The trainees stay with us at the Hope Center during the duration of their training.
The cost of training one girl is KSH 15,000. This covers the training, food and accomodation for the period they are with us. The highest number of our recruits has been teen mums. Many girls in slums are lured with food and money due to their abject poverty leading to early pregnancies, while for some it's from abuse.
