Looking for something to do tonight?
We're in Aldbourne, with drinks, nibbles and inspiration! Everyone's welcome from 7pm 💚
Today, 10 young women in Nandom begin their journey towards empowerment and economic independence.
Our VocATE Apprenticeship Programme gets vulnerable young women into vocational training programmes, and ensures they can succeed. We provide funds and equipment, but that’s only the beginning.
These future entrepreneurs will receive extensive pastoral care, wellbeing support, build tech & commercial business skills, and be part of a community that will enable them to thrive.
After 3 years, they’ll pass their exams and then offered the opportunity of being welcomed into our Small Business Programme where they’ll begin the journey of running their own enterprise.
In 5 years, they’ll earn a sustainable income to support themselves and their families. They’ll look to a future that is bright.
Today is a huge day for them, and we truly love seeing them so excited and hopeful.
Giant thanks to the very special people who fund this amazing work, and our wonderful team who make it happen 💚
So lovely to see this - wishing them all the luck in the world
Thrilled to see this. C x
