Youth Empowerment and Livelihood Program
This program is aimed at promoting and expanding opportunities to entrepreneurship and skills development for all the young people. They train in different hands-on business skills like liquid/bar soap, making of reusable sanitary towels to promote Menstrual Hygiene and Management (MHM). Other skills under this thematic area include; Tailoring, Fashion and Design, Hairdressing and Cosmetology, Bakery and Confectionery, metal fabrication, Production of Artisan products (African sandals and shoes), urban farming and Computer studies, mechanics.
We create opportunities that support positive outcomes for young people to achieve social and economic empowerment through exercising their agency. Our adolescent clubs are safe spaces targeting girls who are in school and those who have dropped out of school, and are at the risk of early marriage or pregnancy. They access life skills, financial literacy, vocational and entrepreneurial training, including in-kind startup capital, and are supported with linkages to work opportunities.
