The project will decrease poverty rate among Eldoret slum inhabitants through education, entrepreneurship and job creation. It will offer: • Vocational training for 250 inhabitants of the Langas slum in Eldoret in areas such as sewing, knitting, hair dressing, IT and entrepreneurial skills. • Assistance for market access – graduates of the vocational program can use the services of the start-up incubator – serving as the first buyer of the students´ products as well as providing business mentoring The project builds on the already operating infrastructure in the Langas slum thanks to the previous development projects SAMRS/2012/01/03 and SAMRS/2014/KEN/01/05. St. Vincent de Paul education center is certified by the Ministry of gender, children and social development of the Republic of Kenya to offer accredited courses. It is actively engaged in the official institutional framework which ensures long term sustainability of the project. The project will result in economic self-sustainability and independence from humanitarian help among 90% of the graduates of tailoring, sewing and hairdressing courses. It will provide economic and social integration of the target groups – low-income women from the slum, orphans as well as disabled persons. Results will be measured by an independent external evaluation procedure. Additionaly, the project has a strong focus on media exposure, well-thought exit strategy and long-term sustainability. It will directly impact 250 students from the Langas slum in Eldoret with an indirect impact on more than 1,400 families from the area.
