Raising Futures Kenya is an award-winning small UK charity, working closely alongside a wonderful partner NGO in Kenya to deliver a hugely successful vocational training and business skills programme called Seed of Hope.
Since 2002 Seed of Hope has supported over 4,000 disadvantaged young people aged 14-25 in Kenya with the opportunity to learn a skilled trade, computer skills and business skills. Many of these young people are unable to finish their formal education as they are experiencing poverty, so our courses are completely free, to ensure no-one is excluded from the opportunity to learn.
Our free training courses also address any of the barriers which may stop a young person from being able to learn. We offer the Seed of Hope students in Kenya;
-
free lunches everyday, you can’t learn when you’re hungry.
-
menstrual hygiene packs to ensure girls don’t miss lessons because they can’t afford sanitary pads.
-
childcare vouchers to ensure young mothers can learn.
-
Life skills lessons addressing sexual and reproductive health, gender based violence, knowing and asserting your rights, advocating for gender equality etc.
-
and perhaps most importantly, counselling and mental health support. Many young students are coping with the most unimaginable trauma and mental health conditions.
We’re here to support young people with whatever they need in order for them to achieve their best in their training course and to go on to secure a job, or start a small business.

You’ll support with crafting engaging funding applications, which stand out from the crowd and capture the funders hearts.
