Empowering Youth With Life - Changing Skills

In line with our long-standing pillar of providing accessible and affordable education, Mabati Technical Training Institute (MTTI) continues to provide training and harbors hope for a bright future among the youth in Mariakani, Kilifi County. The institute recorded a total of 685 enrolled students at the close of December 2022 with 168 new admissions since September 2022, marking a 23% growth in student population. There was also a notable interest in the Computer packages course with 40% of student population enrolling for this option.

We have additionally noted increased gender-balanced course admissions in traditionally male/female programs and are determined to continue breaking barriers and encouraging all our trainees to aim for the programs that pique their interests. With your help, ceaseless support and generous donations, we have initiated, progressed and completed several phase of the MTTI Upgrade Plan 2022.

Our lunch program continues to be fully operational serving the whole trainee population five days a week, giving reprieve to students who come from vulnerable situations and cannot afford three basic meals on a daily basis. The school surveillance (CCTV) and biometric systems have also been fully installed and are fully functional. These systems ensure security for our students, instructors and the institution’s property. The school management system has enabled MTTI to migrate from the traditional paper trail into a more economical and environmental conscious process of quick, efficient and accountable services. We are happy to share about more of the works underway that, once completed, will improve the services and courses offered at MTTI.

We are committed to our trainees’ academic and professional excellence and we have taken steps to cement these commitments. The dressmaking course had been facing challenges due to lack of adequate equipment but, through your contributions, we have restored and repaired up to 90% of the machines and anticipate full restoration in the next few months. Other projects such as the white board installation are also complete and allow for our instructors to facilitate training with ease.

Your generous donations and support has made all the above progress possible and we thank you for giving us the power to change lives and communities around us. With your help, we look forward to expanding our reach and our mission to empower, enable and support the youth of Kilifi County to be economically independent and a beacon to the generation to come. Asanteni Sana
