About

In Kyalurangira County, many young people have limited access to education, skills training, and secure employment. Economic shocks and unemployment leaves youth with few chances to build a stable future. 

The St. Joseph’s Kensekka Tailoring Hub, run by St. Joseph’s Kensekka Vocational Secondary School (SJKVSS), is changing this. It’s a dual-purpose initiative that provides practical vocational training while generating income to help sustain the school. 

The project:  

  • > Trains marginalised youth with market-relevant tailoring skills  
  • > Improves employability and pathways to self-reliance  
  • > Produces and sells school uniforms for the region, creating a steady income stream 

 

By combining skills training with local manufacturing, the Tailoring Hub strengthens resilience and builds a sustainable future for both students and the school community. 

Your support helps young people in Kensekka gain skills for dignified work, while creating a self-sustaining vocational school for the future.
