Empowerment Across Generations: Our Skills Building Programs

We believe that every individual, regardless of age, has the capacity to learn and contribute. Our skills building programs are tailored to empower both older persons seeking a dignified livelihood and the caregivers who provide for vulnerable children and youths. We focus on practical, sustainable skills that build independence and resilience for the entire family.

Skills Building Approach

Our Approach :

Sustainable Livelihoods for Caregivers:

This covers training in skills like tailoring, hairdressing, poultry farming, and small-scale animal husbandry that can be done from home. Elderly, their caregivers, vulnerable youths, gain a skill that directly translates into a source of income, enabling them to meet their basic needs and help them sustain those in their care

Dignified Livelihoods for Elders:

This covers training in low-impact, traditional skills such as craft making (basket weaving, mat making), briquette making, small-scale gardening, and poultry farming. Older persons learn a skill that provides them with a sense of purpose, an income, and an opportunity to pass on their knowledge to the next generation

Building Confident Futures:

This involves age-appropriate trainings on topics like personal hygiene, health, basic financial literacy (saving small amounts), and social skills. Children are equipped with essential knowledge and confidence, preparing them to live healthy, productive lives as they grow.

How to Get Started:

Reaching out is a sign of strength. If you or an older person you know needs support, or if you are caring for a child who is struggling, we are here to help. Contact us to schedule a confidential and compassionate consultation
