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.

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.

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