Program Overview

The Hope through Educational Empowerment Program (HEEP) focuses on capacity building and empowerment through secondary school scholarships, hand-on-training in entrepreneurship training, soft skills, and technical-vocational training as well as providing mentorship and network opportunities. Upon enrollment and successful completion of this program (12 months), participants will transition to secondary school and sustain themselves through the course, acquire technical vocational skills for employments, have a clear and better understanding of entrepreneurship and skills needed to start and grow their own businesses among others (self-employments). The participants will be mentored and supported to start their own business.

HEEP targets vulnerable adolescents and youth (ages 13–25) in slums within Nairobi, Kisumu, Mombasa, and Uasin Gishu counties, who lack fees and support to transition to and through secondary school and those who have been completed primary and or high school and are unable to join college, and who have a passion for vocational training, entrepreneurship and a desire to make  a positive impact in their communities.
