The final week leading up to graduation is always an exciting time for our staff and students.
The students are tested on their ability to operate and troubleshoot repairs on an industrial knitting machine, enabling them to work at any manufacturing facility.
They are tested on the industrial sewing machines they will be using if they decide to stay in Nakuru or move to another large city and work at a manufacturing facility.
There is a practical test on how to design their own fashion, create a pattern, and produce the final item while working on a manually operated trundle sewing machine, as some of the students will be returning to their rural areas where electricity may not be available.
Your continued support of this program has helped so many young women escape the cycle of poverty over the past five years.
Every woman who is able to lift herself out of poverty through education and vocational skills is able to raise and educate her younger siblings and children, thus breaking the poverty cycle forever.
Asante Sana
