Call for Youths Business Training
Posters went up on plywood and WhatsApp the same afternoon — short sentences, big hope. ETCO and the African Initiative for Rural Development are running a business training for young people in Kibera: employability skills first, then a pathway toward placements in the hospitality sector, where a uniform can mean rent paid on time.
If you are tired of guessing how interviews work, or how to speak about your strengths without feeling like you are bragging, this is your door. We keep groups small so facilitators can see faces, not only numbers, and so nobody has to pretend they already know what a CV is supposed to look like.
Slots are limited — not to exclude, but because quality training needs chairs, time, and follow-up. Send an SMS to 0711 785664 to register or ask questions. If the line is busy, try again; our team answers between field visits and school runs, and a missed call is not a closed door.
Bring a pen, an honest CV if you have one, and your punctuality — that still counts for more than people admit. Wear shoes you can walk in; some days we move between rooms faster than slides.
Kibera’s lanes do not forgive lateness; buses leave, interviews close, and rain turns appointments into excuses. We start on time because respect travels both directions.
We cannot promise everyone a job in one week; we can promise straight talk, useful templates, and a community that keeps showing up — and a phone number you can save under “next step,” not “maybe someday.”

Happy Father's Day
As a man. It's Okay to start all over again. Let someone love you correctly, genuinely, value you and respectfully if they have to. Somewhere in your 30s, 40s or 50s, you'll get the opportunity to rebuild your life after a negative loop. It's important you see that journey through. Keep going and don't ever give up. Strong.
