Faraja Project – Nairobi, Kenya
<< BACK
Faraja, Kenya is a residential vocational and leadership training school. It
is dedicated to finding exceptional young men and women who are AIDS orphans
from the slums of Kenya and helping them develop into leaders for the future
of Kenya.
Through a network of churches and humanitarian groups the goal is to select
young people who have demonstrated extraordinary qualities of entrepreneurship
and moral values and place them in a residential facility. They will be exposed
to many skills (construction, mechanics, carpentry, etc.) and certified in at
least one. The program will have them actively involved in on-the-job training
which will be supplemented by extensive training in leadership skills, business
subjects and problem solving. There will be mentoring from members of the African
business and professional community as well as visiting mentors with business
skills from the US.
As students become proficient they will be placed in jobs with local businesses.
When they are ready to develop businesses of their own, mentors will partner with
them to increase their chance for success and necessary capital will be made available
to them in the form of loans. Our vision is to produce young men and women who
have risen from the most abject social conditions who will be able to transform their society.
Current Needs:
- Scholarship funds 6 students @ $1200/yr
- Educational materials: These materials range from basics to used computers
- Rental of residential facility $500/month
- House parents/program directors $600/month
- Other needs are program dependant and will include such items as tools for particular job skills, development of vocational training classrooms and their equipment, etc.
