Kenya - Training Program for Disadvantaged Women


About Kenya

Kenya is the 22nd poorest country in the world. Well over half of the country's population lives below the poverty line earning an income of less than US$1 per day. 50% of the population is below 25 years of age. Women make up 51% of the population.

High school leavers, especially girls from poor families, lack access to higher education. Kenya needs support to provide for the development of women and to prevent their unemployment.

About Kibondeni

Kibondeni is committed to promote the educational development of women in the country, specialising in technical and employment-based education. It offers vocational training to secondary school leavers who due to financial constraints cannot continue to higher education.

A special appeal is being made for a 1-year pilot course to train a group of 40 women in catering skills that will help them earn a reliable and stable income. The women, aged 17-20, come from poor families and different ethnic groups. They lack the financial means and academic requirements to access post secondary education.

Aims and Activities

This project seeks to increase the economic participation of women by: training women in accommodation services and catering skills over a period of 1 year (includes theory and practical) providing assistance in securing employment through Kibondeni placement services

Funds Needed

Funds of Aus$14,000 are sought from Australia to meet the cost of training materials for this one year project. The cost per participating woman is Aus$350.

KIANDA FOUNDATION EDUCATIONAL TRUST is a non-profit organisation established in 1961 and registered under the Land Perpetual Succession Act (Cap. 164) of the laws of Kenya. Kibondeni is a non-profit educational project of the Kianda Foundation.
