The main goal of the project is to promote vocational training and practical skills to a disadvantaged group of young people in Kenya, thus supporting their employment, career growth and building their financial independent existence.

Furthermore, the projects seeks to strengthen learning and working habits of the student by professional counseling / mentoring, thus making them more likely to find and maintaining a job.
