The Ngong Road Children Foundation is conducting a three-month small business management training program that started on March 22, 2025. Empowerment can turn talents into meaningful opportunities. This training program is dedicated to 24 unemployed alumni with various craft skills. By providing them with the necessary tools and support, we aim to help these individuals transform their skills into sustainable livelihoods.
The 10-week training is being conducted at our Elimu hub and facilitated by the Upcoming African Youth Organisation. It is led by experienced trainer Felix Orwaka. This collaboration ensures that our alumni receive high-quality, practical instruction.
The small business management training program provides the alumni with a thorough understanding of essential business principles, strategies, and practices. Key modules covered include:
- Understanding entrepreneurship, business management essentials, and business startups
- Business scaling and fundraising
- Financial literacy
- Business Strategy Development, developing effective business plans, and executing those plans successfully.
Upon completion of this valuable training, the trainees will be required to pitch their business proposals and request a startup toolkit from the organization to support their ventures and increase their chances of success.
In addition to providing the necessary resources, NRCF will conduct assessments of the small businesses to ensure that owners are generating enough income to sustain their livelihoods and improve their quality of life. This exciting initiative aims to enhance the performance of their businesses, leading to higher productivity and growth.
Our goal as an organization is to transform the lives of our alumni, helping them to improve their situation by creating these employment opportunities.
