Some times you are caught between the 'rock and the hard place' with limited option and tough decisions that could shape the course of your life. Sharon, a participant in the January 2015 Class has been pushed to the ‘wall’ several times but constantly chooses to push back. Raised by a single mother and being the only child, she was loved, adored and overly pampered.
Her life changed when her mother passed on and Sharon had to start fending for herself. She dropped out of school due to lack of tuition. She tried her luck at several jobs such as shop keeping, being a waitress and a sales agent but could hardly keep a job due to lack of job skills and competence. A friend referred her for the Kyusa program and through the program she has acquired both job and business skills to enable her start and grow her own business. Her dream is to establish a food service business in her community and has currently started with a growing snacks business that enables her meet her daily needs and expenses as she saves towards her bigger financial goals.
Kyusa empowers out of school youth in urban slums to turn their passion into sustainable careers. The program aims at empowering youth to access economic opportunities, become job creators, build self-esteem and increase financial independence.
We are able to do this through the faithful giving of our partners and friends. You can become a part of this movement by partnering with us as a Kyusa hero- commit to giving a minimum of 50,000/= [$20] on a monthly basis for at least one year. This enables us to offer the program free of charge to some participants who are unable to afford the subsidized fees.
