GBV Festival : Ending Abuse

Dear Friends,

Thank you for the support you have given us in our project!  We are still working towards our goal of aquiring the equipment and furniture for the training purposes.

Below is a story from one of our Homabay Cohorts on how the project has transformed her life!

"I was introduced by my mother’s friend to this program initiated by Community Focus Group and I was determined to do my best gain enough experience and skills in hairdressing. I was worried at first if I was going to catch up and learn within the six month period, since it was my first time to learn a new skill I haven’t done in my life. This program has helped me a lot. After I finished the course for 6months my trainer offered me an internship at her salon for two months to practice my skills and at the same time I was plaiting cornrows and selling to salons and beauty shops. I have also been plaiting client in different salon and paid by commission. Recently, I have been employed at Elegance salon and I am thankful for Community Focus Group for giving me this opportunity to acquire adequate skills of hair dressing .I am confident now that I can handle clients effectively in the salon without a challenge. In addition, this program has also enabled me to earn an honest living for my child and help my younger siblings get education that I did not have the opportunity to acquire. Hobbies Playing football and marathons."

Kindly consider making a monthly / recurring donations to our project this month and the following months and let us transform lives together.
