What begins with knowledge can transform entire communities. In Kilifi (Kenya), a project supported by the Limmat Foundation is empowering women, girls, and children through hands-on training as well as essential life skills, creating lasting change.
Through the program “Fanikisha”, around 160 women received training in entrepreneurship, budgeting, cooking, and nutrition. As a result, several participants launched small businesses or secured employment in the local service sector. At the same time, the program “Tekeleza” enabled a similar number of girls to develop leadership and business skills, with many taking their first steps into entrepreneurship. The program “Smartika Mimi” reached almost 240 pupils, providing education on hygiene, nutrition, and personal responsibility. Many of these children have already improved their daily habits and are actively promoting cleanliness within their schools as well as families.
By investing in practical education, the Limmat Foundation is helping communities build sustainable futures through local empowerment.
