Building Resilient Communities 

Socio-economically - Enviornmentally 

 

GO
to the People;
Live among them;
Love them;
Learn from them;
Start from where they are;
Work with them;
Build on what they have.

But of the best leaders,
When the task is accomplished,
The work completed,
The people all remark:
"We have done it ourselves"

KaaKazini

Apprenticeship for  jobs

KaaKazini - is a  web-based placement service connecting craftsmen to informal and formal employment, and gigs - anyone can work and anyone can hireText.

 

We provide mentorship, welfare support and leadership capacity development directly to them. And through partnerships with reputable stakeholders, we are able to provide access to vocational programmes with a subsequent technology-enabled quality apprenticeship program, and supported housing enabling a convenient and sustainable transition to independent living. 

 

This is in response to the challenge of vulnerable and homeless youth. This comes with the challenge of income generation for sustainability. Most of them having dropped out of primary school, high school and even from tertiary institutions, still lack essential skills to allow them to fend for themselves. There are few opportunities for them to find jobs or to start off enterprises. They are also on the disadvantaged side of the technological divide and therefore experience the challenge of access to information, digital skills acquisition  and inclusion in social innovation.

Podcast

JAY4T's Podcast

Innovation and exploration is the most exciting experience of a youth’s life, but it comes with plenty of social, economic and environmental challenges. Johanssen Obanda, also known as “Happy,” interviews young people on the different ends of innovation and exploration biweekly and pulls back the curtain on sustainable social innovation. Each episode contains powerful information to help you grow your knowledge in social innovation, entrepreneurship, positive youth development, and building resilient communities.
