Creative Lab Update: Building Forward Together

Dear Supporters,

In December 2025, you stood with us during our Giving Tuesday campaign to build a 50-seater Creative Lab at the Regina Yego Girls Center. Today, we are proud to share that because of your generosity, we didn't just raise $6,631—we raised the curtain on a new chapter for 30 young women.

While we have not yet reached our full $35,000 target, your support provided the "seed capital" for momentum. We chose not to wait. In January 2026, we welcomed our first cohort into the program.

The Impact Today: From Uncertainty to Agency

These 30 young women have transitioned from the Msingi Foundation phase into active Career Design. They are currently navigating that critical "what next?" period after high school by:

  • Mapping Strengths: Developing the self-awareness to lead their own journeys.
  • Digital Immersion: Utilizing our current computer resources to build foundational tech literacy.
  • Life Skills: Strengthening the confidence and communication needed to enter the modern workforce.

Strategic Resilience: Our Path to May 2026

To honor your investment and keep our students learning, we have made a strategic decision to adapt our construction plan. To reduce overhead while maintaining a high standard of education:

  1. The Creative Pivot: We are constructing a temporary, high-utility classroom (iron sheets and plywood) to house our general studies.
  2. The Lab Realized: This allows us to convert our existing permanent classroom into the dedicated Creative Lab, a focused space for high-level technical training.
  3. The May Milestone: Our goal is to have the Lab fully resourced and launched by May 2026, beginning our specialized Graphic Design track.

The Road Ahead

Our goal is to have our Graphic Design track live by May 2026. To get there, we are looking for corporate partners who share our vision. Do you know a business leader or a company looking to invest in the next generation of African creatives? A simple introduction can turn a plywood classroom into a world-class Lab.

Thank you for building forward with us.

With gratitude,
Lucy Chepchumba Kimaru
