It all started as a Vocational Training College. The program has been using an integrated training approach which incorporates technical skills training, entrepreneurship development and life skills with the aim of enhancing employability among the youth living within the most vulnerable communities in Nairobi's non-formal settlements.
Therefore different ways of ensuring sustainability of the program are applied, this which include linking the program to Self Help Groups, participation of local artisans as trainers and formation of youth groups to enhance the output of the program. But this is not enough, many youth still remain unemployed poverty is still an issue.
With the little they earn, it is barely enough to support themselves
and their families. Many young people are engaged in informal sector, performing
unskilled, low-paying and precarious jobs and other have engaged themselves in businesses
which have stalled due to lack of innovativeness, support and necessary support.
The project aims at establishing and equipping a centre for innovation, which
will identify, nurture, support, monitor, and mentor and strengthens youth owned
innovative enterprise to give them a competitive edge in the market. The youths
will be able to recreate community challenges into great business opportunities
improved livelihoods of youths.
