Ujana360

Today than ever before, youth require capabilities to navigate the complex world.

Ujana is Kiswahili for “Youthhood”. The Program targets holistic development (360) through Technical and Vocational Training, so that Youth can:

1) Access, create and retain jobs;

2) Live fulfilling lives; and

3) Contribute to the common good of society. This is the idea of Whole Youth Development (WYD), that the program promotes through both systemic and social change.
