The “Ujuzi Kwa Vijana” (Skills for Youth) project in Kitale, Kenya, is a transformative initiative that supports young people living in challenging conditions like the streets or slums. It focuses on teaching practical skills such as dressmaking, mechanics, and hairdressing over a year-long program. Participants also learn important business skills to help them succeed in jobs or start their own businesses.

The project goes beyond just training. It creates a supportive community through self-help groups where youth can encourage each other and build resilience. By helping young people reintegrate into society and promoting understanding between different communities, Ujuzi Kwa Vijana aims to give marginalized youth a chance for a better future, empowering them to thrive independently.
