Help Construct a Vocational Building in Kibera

1. INTRODUCTION & GRATITUDE

We made it with your help.

With deep humility and overwhelming gratitude, the Centre of Love is honored to present this project report to you—our valued donors and friends. Words may not fully express how deeply thankful we are, nor can they adequately capture the excitement, joy, and renewed hope within the community, especially among the youth who will soon enroll and begin using this vocational facility.

You trusted us with your funds, believed in our vision, and journeyed with us through the final and most critical phase of this project. What we once presented to you as a proposal is now a complete vocational building, standing strong and ready to serve the community of Kibera.

Through your generous contribution of USD 7,101, and with additional support mobilized from other sources, we successfully raised the full amount required to complete this project. This achievement is a true testimony of partnership, trust, and shared purpose.

On behalf of the community, the Centre of Love Board, staff, and all current and future beneficiaries, we say thank you.

2. PROJECT BACKGROUND & NEED

Kibera is home to thousands of young people with immense potential but limited access to skills training and employment opportunities. Many youth face barriers such as poverty, unemployment, and a lack of affordable vocational facilities that can equip them with practical, marketready skills.

The Centre of Love envisioned a dedicated vocational building to serve as a safe, accessible, and wellequipped space where youth can gain handson skills in Electrical and Plumbing trades—skills that are critically essential for selfreliance, income generation, and entry into the job market.

This project was designed not only to construct a building but to restore dignity, build confidence, and unlock opportunity.
