KENYA
Reports of extreme poverty, lack of training opportunities for young people, migration to cities, corruption, terrorism, AIDS and malaria – the news from Africa is similar every year. Nehemiah International Kenya therefore maintains an education and training center near Kisumu where young people and young adults are supported in all areas of life: the Miwani Center. With agriculture and dairy farming, a small bakery, a farm shop and a health center on the premises, the Miwani Center complements and improves the supply structure of the people from the surrounding villages.

Sponsorships for
School Education
Education in Kenya is expensive – too expensive for many families who, in addition to the high school fees, also have to pay for learning materials, a school uniform and transport to school.
With a sponsorship program the nehemia team supports children and young people in the Miwani Center as well as selected children and young people of the surrounding villages, who thereby receive a good school education and sufficient care. For them this means having a real perspective for the future.
Vocational Training Center
In September 2024, the nehemia team’s vocational training centre welcomed its first trainees. Up to 30 young adults will attend various training programmes in the future.
In addition to professional qualifications, the nehemia centre promotes personal development and strength of character.
The training centre is partly funded by the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development.
Sponsorships for
Vocational Training
The newly launched SPONSORSHIP PROGRAMME FOR TRAINEES also offers young adults from poor backgrounds the chance of training. Training places for thirty young people are being created at the Miwani Centre.
In this way, the vocational training of young people in the rural district of Kisumu can be sustainably promoted. Another positive aspect will be that the young people will stay in the region and use and multiply the skills they have learnt there.
