Africa Circle of Hope
Women's Entrepreneurship Graduation Day
(Mathare Slums, Nairobi, Kenya)
Members of the Good Samaritan Mother's Group from the Mathare slums in Nairobi received certificates of completion on June 6. Over the past year, the 38 women participated in monthly Entrepreneurship training days at Catholic University of Eastern Africa (CUEA). The Dean of the Faculty of Commerce and other faculty facilitated the Entrepreneurship sessions, which focused on business operations, budgets,communication, marketing and customer service.
The women celebrated their accomplishment with family and friends at the campus. More than 200 people attended the graduation ceremony led by the Vice Chancellor of CUEA. The youth from Good Samaritan Children's Home entertained guests with music, dancing and acrobatics. Everyone enjoyed lunch and a special cake for the graduates. As the women said, "We can be a model for others." "We can work together to improve the quality of life in Mathare."
Our thanks to Catholic University of Eastern Africa for partnering with Africa Circle of Hope on this significant initiative to educate and empower underserved women.
