EMPOWERMENT
At SEF Foundation, we believe that the economic future of any community is dependent on the economic capacity of its constituent’s youth, and people as a whole. We therefore tailor various grassroots capacity building initiatives towards empowering community youth and women to maximize their potentials and local resources while achieving their personal dreams and ultimately contributing to community and economic development.
Our Youth & Women Empowerment
Vocational Training & Skills development
The neglect of technical and vocational education plays a major role in the high unemployment and rising poverty among the youth and women because many of them lack basic job skills. They are struggling with the challenge of acquiring “employability” skills because the society is focused mostly on formal university education. At SEF Foundation, we believe that an investment in skills training is a worthwhile social investment. To reduce the burden of unemployment and poverty, SEF Foundation intends to empower youth and women with needed skills to support their households by learning a lifelong skill or trade such as tailoring, brick laying, carpentry, waste and plastic recycling, metal fabrication among others.
Youth Engagements
Youth Engagement through Sports, Recreation & Cultural Interaction for Development: The active engagement of youth is essential to national development, to promoting a culture of peace and enabling social cohesion. The Foundation seeks to capture the attention of youth through civic engagement and leadership using sports and recreation as a tool. Engaging youth requires innovative strategies to help propel them to be productive citizens. The Foundation plans to achieve this through football, chess, cultural integration and art as a unifying tool to mentor and also provide leadership sessions to youth in rural communities.
Startup capital program
The Foundation will make a step further to support hardworking beneficiaries through its micro finance scheme to be established.
