We are committed to empowering young people and women with practical, industry-ready skills that open doors to real employment opportunities. This program, primarily run through the Zalika Africa Institute, addresses market demands by bridging the skill gap.
Limited pathways to stable work.
Many young people and women in Kenya lack access to practical, market-ready skills, limiting their pathways to stable employment and economic independence.
Hands-on, industry-ready training.
Through the Zalika Africa Institute, we deliver structured training in caregiving, health aide work, office administration, and domestic skills, combining technical expertise with the soft skills employers value.
From training to employment.
Graduates move from training into real jobs, including rewarding opportunities abroad, gaining the confidence, income, and independence to support their families.
Caregiver & Health Aide
Comprehensive, structured training that equips individuals with professional and soft skills for domestic caregiving roles, opening pathways to rewarding local and international employment.
Office & Administration
Practical training for roles such as office assistant and receptionist, combining essential administrative competencies with soft skills so participants are ready to excel in professional office environments.
Nannying & Housekeeping
Structured training in childcare and household management, equipping participants with the trusted, professional skills needed to provide quality nannying and housekeeping services.
Compassionate care, close to home.
Families and community caregivers are often the first and most consistent source of support for people living with chronic illness, disability, and age-related conditions. We equip them to provide safer, more dignified care.
Limited access to quality care.
Vulnerable populations, including older persons and people with chronic illness, often face limited access to compassionate, quality care and support.
Training and linking communities to care.
We train family and community caregivers, identify and link vulnerable populations to essential health and social support services, and advocate for accountability in the health sector.
Dignity, safety, and stronger systems.
Families receive safer, more dignified care at home, while communities gain a stronger, more accountable local health support system.
Stewards of the earth.
We advocate for sustainable, community-focused approaches to tackle environmental issues that persist over time, restoring ecosystems and promoting economic stability for the communities we serve.
Degraded land and water scarcity.
Communities in arid and environmentally vulnerable counties face degraded landscapes, water scarcity, and growing climate risk.
Tree planting and water resilience.
We lead community-driven afforestation and reforestation in Machakos County, and develop water resilience infrastructure such as sand dams in Makueni County.
Restored land, resilient livelihoods.
Restored ecosystems, reliable water access, and stronger, more resilient livelihoods for communities across Kenya's driest regions.
Afforestation & Reforestation
Community-driven initiatives focused on planting and nurturing trees in environmentally critical areas, such as Machakos County, to restore degraded landscapes, combat climate change, and enhance biodiversity.

As a single mother, this opportunity has changed my life – I can now provide for my children and give them a better future.
The hands-on training taught me everything – I secured a job immediately after graduation and felt completely confident stepping into my role.
This course went beyond basic assistance, teaching me how to manage conditions and provide a higher level of specialized, compassionate care.
