Educate and Empower Street Children in Kenya

For the young people who live there, the Children and Youth Empowerment Centre is home and family, a source of support and opportunities. Alumni of the program appreciate the foundation the Centre gave them for their lives – education, care and love. Last month a group of more than 20 alumni and friends returned to the Centre to share with the children. Together they played games, prepared food and shared stories of their time at the Centre and what they’re doing now.

Our graduates are role models and mentors for the younger children, showing them a path to a bright future. In addition, while many of our alumni are still getting established, it’s valuable for them to have the opportunity to share and give back.

It was heart-warming to see those who have grown through the programs at the CYEC return to encourage and inspire the next generation.

Your support makes this possible! Your gift on Giving Tuesday, December 3, will go even further to make a difference for these young people!

Rathithi Polytechnic is dedicated to empowering the community by providing skills training.

Rathithi Polytechnic provided a three-month training program from June to August 2024 for 13 women from the Kiondini women’s group. The training focused on food and beverage production, service, and pastries. A graduation ceremony was held on September 13, 2024, attended by community leaders and group sponsors. These skills will help the women start a catering business and act as brand ambassadors for the Rathithi catering class.

Kiondoini women’s group was formed to bring women together for self-empowerment through table banking activities and other income generating activities.

The skills will go a long way in helping the women earn a livelihood through outside catering service business.

We thank the group for identifying Rathithi Polytechnic as a partner in skills provision!
