Gender Equality Kenya Project #20657

Tailoring Training Centre for Kenyan slum women

Project Report | Jul 19, 2016
Strategies for new program 2017

By G.Odolo | Project Lead

Progressive Volunteers has made tremendous efforts to address the low job practical skills and unemployment problem in Ruaraka community. The organization established a small dressmaking and tailoring training centre to tackle the problems of low practical skill levels and lack of income generating opportunities for our target group especially the women and youth. The organization has trained 171 women and youth on various dressmaking, sewing and tailoring skills.

The project has perfectly worked to reduce poverty of vulnerable groups in Ruaraka as most of the trained women secure skilled employment at the Export Processing zones (EPZs industries) and others starting their own businesses. We hope to help more women and youth come 2017 when we shall relaunch our training program.

Kindly join us in empowering our women and youth to become self-reliant.
