At Raising Futures Kenya we believe cycles of poverty and inequality can be broken with access to quality education, skills training and wellbeing support.
Since 2001 we have worked in partnership with a Kenyan NGO on delivering their community-led programmes. Their Seed of Hope programme provides free vocational training, business skills and wellbeing support for children and young people aged 14-25, particularly girls, in marginalised communities in Kenya.
With the skills, qualifications and confidence gained from Seed of Hope, 75% of graduates gain employment or start a small business within 6 months of completing their course.
Our vision is for all children and young people to be able to create safe, rewarding futures for themselves, free from poverty and exploitation.
Our mission is to support children and young people in Kenya to break cycles of poverty and inequality through skills training for employment and entrepreneurship.
Seed of Hope has given me the skills and the confidence to enter the world of work and be self-reliant
