Transforming the life of families through education and vocational training.
Why do we serve in this city?
Our city is growing at a rate of 4.2% a year making it one of the fastest growing metropolitan areas of the world. Much of the growth is due to rural families moving to the city in search for work. Most of these urban immigrants live in non-formal settlements (slums) in and on the outskirts of the city. According to official government figures, this non-formal population does not exist. As a result, they do not have easy access to drinking water, sanitary toilets, cooking gas, good medical care and there are no government schools in the area. There are vast spiritual needs in this country too and we pray our work has an eternal impact.
What do we do?
Our vision is to transform the lives of the people in the communities we are serving through prayer, education and practical help. While we run many programs, our focus in on people. We want to reach people in such a way that generations are impacted. We want to see whole families live’s transformed.
Primary Education
We provide k-5 education to children who otherwise wouldn’t be able to go to school. Many of our families migrate in and out of the city, leaving gaps in their children’s education. Most students come to us with little or no previous schooling. With 2 school locations, we strive to provide quality education to students coming from difficult backgrounds.
Computer Training
We offer a 4 month basic computer classes to youth and adults who have completed primary school. Students learn Microsoft word, excel, and powerpoint as well as basic typing skills. These classes give students the necessary skills they need for higher education. It also makes them more marketable for future jobs.
Tailoring Training
Through this 4 month program, the youth and women can improve their quality of life through learn tailoring and sewing skills. After completing the program, many women get jobs in local tailoring shops or work from home as a way to earn extra income.
