Patricias Story is just one example of the transformative power of our work. Before she started a course at the Rafiki Girls Centre, she was in a vulnerable position with little formal education. Throughout the course she learned various skills such as catering, sewing, entrepreneurship and business management not to mention health and hygiene. She also received counselling to help work through some of the issues she had faced and make plans for her future.

Since graduating, she used these skills to set up her own business. At first, she ran operations from her family home in the local community, offering services relating to catering, the design and creation of clothing and homeware, interior design and wedding planning. Since then, Patricia has been hugely successful in growing her business. Now, she has large corporate clients and her own office. Thanks to our work, Patricia has been able to transform her future and prove what she is capable of something she previously thought could never happen. She now has enough income to support herself and her family.
