Vocational training has proven to be a game-changer in empowering women, equipping them with practical skills to break cycles of poverty and build sustainable futures. In Kenya, Nurisha Trust has been at the forefront of this transformation, enabling women to rewrite their stories through two outstanding institutions: Tewa Training College and Kibondeni College.
Vocational training provides women from underserved communities with opportunities to acquire employable skills, particularly in industries like hospitality and tourism. Through targeted, hands-on education, both Tewa and Kibondeni Colleges ensure their graduates are not only job-ready but also capable of making a significant impact in their respective fields.
Tewa Training Centre, located on the Kenyan coast, focuses on hospitality training tailored to the thriving local tourism industry. Its graduates secure jobs in hotels, restaurants, and other businesses, while some start their own ventures, contributing to local economies.
Kibondeni College, based in Nairobi, specializes in culinary arts and hospitality management. Known for its high standards, the college has produced top professionals, as demonstrated in the recent Ladha za Afrika competition, where students won prestigious awards, earning job offers and industry recognition.
Beyond Technical Skills
The Nurisha Trust approach goes beyond vocational training. Both Tewa and Kibondeni Colleges emphasize holistic development, integrating personal growth, leadership skills, and ethical values into their curriculum. This ensures graduates leave not only with technical expertise but also with confidence, resilience, and a deep sense of responsibility to uplift their communities.
These values empower graduates to become change-makers. They invest in their families’ education, health, and well-being, creating ripple effects of transformation that extend far beyond their immediate circles.
The impact of Tewa and Kibondeni Colleges demonstrates the transformative power of vocational education. By addressing barriers to education and employment, the Nurisha Trust Program is driving meaningful change, one woman at a time. Each graduate represents a story of hope, determination, and empowerment , a living testament to the enduring impact of investing in women’s education.
As we celebrate the achievements of these institutions and their graduates, it is clear that vocational training is not just about skills but about building brighter futures for women, their families, and their communities.
