The home economics program at Kingston Secondary School is one of the school's largest academic programs. Many of the students who attend the school come from poor families with limited career options. Students who go through the program can graduate and go on to pursue careers in culinary arts. During 2018, Blossoms donated pots, pans and other kitchen equipment to support the home economics program. During 2019 our goal is to renovate the kitchen used by the students.
Many public schools in Guyana are severely underfunded and without proper funding, schools cannot afford to provide adequate training facilities for students.

Blossoms will help to address the funding shortage by improving educational facilities and providing teaching supplies to improve literacy in schools and educational outcomes for
Blossoms will build renovate the home economics space used by the school. Through this renovation the students will be able to complete their training in an adequate and safe facility which will allow them to complete a program certificate and get jobs once they graduate.
This project will help to improve the learning environment for 250 students living in Guyana allowing them to improve their educational and economic opportunities.
