Training of 250 Rehabilitated Youths in Kiambu

End of February 2019 GlobalGiving Project Report.

It has been a training recap and follow-up period with the members in the program. The objective during the period was specification in enterprises created and enhanced. The beneficiaries have been doing business scale up and finding ways to expand them. Despite the various challenges encountered, we are happy to report that the enterprises have progressed very well.

The beneficiaries from all the training centers were happy to report of having gained marketing skills which had elevated their daily, weekly and monthly incomes and this was very encouraging especially to the HiH EA Officers who trained them with a lot of zeal.

The project closes by the end of March 2019 and as part of our exit strategy, we have planned the following;

• Drug and Alcohol sensitization activity which was ongoing.
• Savings mobilization and actualizing the revolving fund amongst the members in every center; this will serve as a stand-by kitty where members will access micro loans.
• Documentation of business profiles that had been created and enhanced since inception.

Additionally, we are pleased to report that;

ü  Kaeni Sober Centre has a group project namely Poultry Rearing Project.

ü  Mashujaa Group has a group project - Soccer-balls Making Project.

 Graduation of the beneficiaries:

The graduation ceremony will be held on 4^th April 2019. During the event, we shall have the beneficiaries exhibit their enterprises and as well recognize their efforts by issuing entrepreneurial certificates.

 You, our valuable donors, have walked with us in this journey, though your donations, motivation and encouragement; others have visited the groups/beneficiaries and encouraged them.  Indeed your presence motivated them towards changing their outlook of life hence helping them re-discover and love themselves! We sincerely appreciate any role or part that you played since the project started.

 You are most welcome on 4^th April 2019 in the culmination of the project. Just to state that, we are not done yet. If we get more funds, we shall initiate other special projects like this one of rehabilitating the vulnerable youth affected by drug abuse!
