Kyusa September Class Rolls Out

It has been an exciting year so far and as we wind it down, we launched our last class and intake for 2015. The September class rolled out on 10^th September with orientation and a week later the classes commenced. The class is running at the Bugolobi training center and has 15 students signed up for both the ICT and soft skills class.

The September class is dynamic in that it brings together ambitious and visionary young people from diverse walks of life. All the participants are ambitious about starting and growing their own businesses. They are passionate about becoming job creators and peer leaders in their communities. 

Kyusa is a life transforming experience for both the participants and the facilitators. We are constantly amazed at the unveiling of potential and dreams among participants with every new class.

Resilience and consistence are key factors to being able to successfully work through the Kyusa training. The two months training is intensive and requires serious commitment. Although the course is delivered in a practical and learner centered approach, it ignites the hidden and untapped potential of youth thus awakening them to the reality of their unexplored greatness.

At Kyusa we empower vulnerable youth to develop passion driven sustainable careers. It is our mission to empower youth to become employable in a way that is both sustainable and has a positive impact on their communities. This journey of eight weeks is one that turns ordinary youth into CEOs, peer leaders, entrepreneurs, employers and social entrepreneurs. It is highly recommended for any young person seeking to tap into their full potential.

Registration for the January 2016 class will open soon and be among the first ones to sign up. Your life will be drastically transformed and positively impacted in a way that will make you stand out among your peers. At Kyusa, we raise generations of change agents.

Kyusa celebrates Another Milestone

On 12^th September 2015, Kyusa celebrated yet another milestone by having 30 youth graduate from the program all at the same time. It was a great time of celebration and jubilation as we commissioned the youth to pursue their passions, dreams and make them a reality in a way that empowers them economically and positively impacts their communities.

This was a milestone for 90% of the graduates who were attending a formal graduation for the very first time. It was a land mark in their lives as they celebrated their success and accomplishments through the Kyusa program. The celebration was marked by shouts of happiness, dancing, eating, taking photos and reminiscing memorable moments.

The event was graced by three of the Kyusa Executive Board members. The Board Chairman commissioned the graduates and released them into their full potential. It was emphasized that the sky is just the foundation for one’s aspirations not the limit. Graduates were encouraged to dream big and keep pressing on towards their high goals.

Some of the parents present expressed gratitude for the transformation that they are witnessing in the lives of their children. They noted that their children are more responsible, focused and passion driven as a result of under taking the Kyusa training. This is also reflected in the way the alumni interact with each other, the staff and the wider community.

Kyusa empowers out of school youth to become employable by turning their passions into sustainable careers. This is aimed at reducing the rate of youth unemployment in Uganda among out of school youth. Graduates have ventured into different businesses including agriculture, food industry, events management, fashion and design, hair dressing and small scale businesses. 80% of the graduates have at least one regular source of income as they work towards achieving their bigger dreams.

We are grateful to all the partners and development partners that support us to make this difference in the lives of the vulnerable youth. Kyusa is raising a generation of change agents who are transforming lives and communities as they invest in sustainable development projects.
