Vocational Education

There are many vulnerable youth and single women who dropped out of school due to different reasons and cannot not afford fees to pay in order to get vocational skills. It is this gap that CWE-TECH has been bridging by partnering with local vocational training institutions to offer them skills free of charge.
And on this day, it was joy and jubilation as hundreds of them graduated with skills like masonry,hair dressing and beauty therapy, welding, dressmaking, electrical, Detergent making, all ready to enter the job market.

SDG 17: PARTNERSHIP FOR THE GOALS.

It is under this spirit that we, at CWE-TECH have been partnering with various organisations to achieve our mission and reach our vision.
In the month of November and December 2021 CWE-TECH and Power for the People (PFP) were able to partner and carried out a 5-week training for women of Mbita and Remba & Rusinga Island for the following modules:
1. Sexual Reproductive Health Education & Menstrual Hygiene Management
2.Entrepreneurship and Credit management skills
3.Environmental Awareness and Creation
4. Civic Education & Responsibility
5. Communication Skills

The climax was a beautiful Action plan and graduation for these powerful ladies!!

Women and mobile banking

CWE-TECH has been training women in Homabay on mobile banking. Since they are in agribusiness, the mobile banking skills help them to optimize on their sales and profits by not travelling long distances to access physical banking services.

CWE-TECH on STEM

CWE-TECH has worked closely with girls in high school to empower them through technology. In 2018, the organization launched the ‘Techno- Hub Girls Club’. We introduced the digital forum called- WE CARE FOR EACH OTHER. We launched a Google shared slide document through which girls will air their voices, thoughts , emotions ,fears, dreams during the long holidays. The girls were trained on how to digitally voice and express themselves through adding slides to the google documents, uploading photos and videos.
