Kenya - Education, Vocational Training & Disability Programs

In Kenya the focus of the work of Bright Futures and our development partner group, Dorcas Creation, is on the empowerment of women through vocational and business skills training and mentoring in the Maururi and Mathare slums in Nairobi.  More than 1,500 women and their families have been assisted through the project.  The project supports school based education at WestWood School in the Mathare Slum and programs aimed at assisting mothers who have children with disabilities.   A program  focused on training 1,000 men and women in Urban Farming strategies on micro-plots is aimed at improving both food supply and nutrition in slum communities.
