The Need Lack of skills training opportunities among young women is a common issue in Embul Bul Ward, Ngong, Kajiado County and in Kieni Nyeri County often, due to socio norms, lack of employment opportunities and financial crisis, they are unable to undertake vocational and skill trainings in the expensive training centers. Young women most of who are high school leavers and drop outs depend on housekeeping, , collecting fodder and collecting firewood to earn income. They do casual labor work that produce poor earning which is not sufficient to arrange meal twice daily. This impact on their health and that of their children.

Due to lack of vocational training facilities in Embul Bul Ward, Ngong, Kajiado County and Kieni in Nyeri County these young women are never offered these techniques to create their micro enterprises in a profitable manner. It on this background that Future Adventure resolved take a patriotic challenge to initiate various skills training programmes to help these young women who are struggling with their daily lives. This programme include vocational and skills development and will be reaching to these young women with appropriate community mobilization and capacity building. We are offering tailoring and dressing making, beauty techniques and cooking but the courses will be expanded every year

Women play an active role in day to day survival of the poorer communities in these villages. They bear the double burden of work in the house and out of the house. The low rate of literacy in the women of disadvantaged part of the community. They do not have any other skill to earning. There is increasing risk for scarcity of livelihood and employment in the region.

There are few and unevenly distributed technical vocational training centres. Kenya has over 700 technical vocational training centres to serve a country of 50 Million people which include; four national polytechnics, one technical teachers college, about 35 technical training institutes, and over 600 youth polytechnics (commonly refered to as village polytechnics) which are mostly concentrated in economically endowed counties and almost non-existent in arid and semi-arid areas like Kajiado and Kieni Sub- County There is a consistent decline in the quality of training offered in training centres as a result of declining number of quality trainers and a lack of modern and efficient machine and equipment.

There is a lack of relevance in skills taught that match with occupational and social realities present in today's economy. Some training centres continue to teach skills that no longer have a market and ignore those that do have and this is the need Future Adventure is addressing.
