Since 2013 we made it possible for over 300 disadvantaged women to step away from poverty and
build bright, sustainable futures for themselves and their children and we are currently supporting
105 Young mothers over three years to build strong, sustainable futures for themselves and their
children in our Hair and Beauty skills training project.
We have provided school uniform, supplies and funding for school fees for more that 30? Resident
KACH children.
In 2016/17 we helped 30 young sex workers to gain work experience and graduate with a diploma in
Hair & Beauty, giving them a safe, sustainable livelihood.
In 2014/15 with funding from Evan Cornish, we supported 27 women from Kinoru Oasis to receive
training in Shampoo and Bar Soap making, and 32 women from The Mwiruthi Women Group on a 3-
day food processing course to create peanut butter, jams and yoghurts. Both groups continue to
make and sell their products to benefit their families and local communities.
In 2014/15 with funding from The Brillig Charitable Trust we provided training to 110 women who
were either living with HIV/Aids, single mothers, widows, or mothers but whose husbands were
unable to work. 40 women completed training in tie-dying, 40 completed catering training, and 30
were taught how to knit.
During 2013/15 we ran a 2-year project funded by Marr Munning that enabled 30 women to gain
skills in weaving, detergent/soap making, jewellery making and tailoring. All 30 women were
supported to start their own small businesses from home, provide for their children, and share skills
with other women in their communities.
In 2013, Syscap funded the installation of an internet tower at IPI, enabling IPI and the local
community to access 3G internet in a rural area with limited internet access.
