KIAMBU REHABILITATION PROJECT
Because of your generous contribution, HiH EA has been able to change the lives of 64 youths in the Kiambu Rehabilitation Project. The training that included basic entrepreneurship and financial management skills aims to empower the youths to create jobs and enterprises hence improving their quality of life.
As you might be aware, currently Kenya faces a high rate of unemployment with a majority of those affected being youth under the age of 35. According to a recent report by United Nations Human Development Index (HDI) 2017, Kenya recorded 39.1 percent unemployment rate. The effects of unemployment on a young population is vast and at times includes drug abuse.
The Kiambu Rehabilitation Project thus aims at providing an alternative for the rehabilitated youths from the use of drugs. These youths are now able to create jobs for themselves and others and therefore find new ways of making money and living better lives.
Recently HiH EA began the recruitment of the second cohort of youth in Kiambu for this project. The new group expressed interest in entrepreneurial training and is currently undergoing rehabilitation in order to be on-boarded for the training by HiH EA.
Once again we thank you for your support for the first cohort of the Kiambu Rehabilitation Project that has seen 64 youths gain a second chance at living a productive and fulfilling life. As we embark on the training of the second cohort your support will be highly appreciated.
