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.
