Adia Empowerment Center Scholarships
The Adia Empowerment Center empowers individuals through vocational and skill development. We build thriving communities through vocational training and entrepreneurial opportunities.
In Kenya (2019 data), approximately 11% of the eligible population enrolled in tertiary education, but only about 3.5% of the total population held a university degree. (compared to approximately 79% in the US). And right now, 80% of Kenya’s population is under the age of 35. It’s a young country with a severe lack of opportunities for education and skill development.
Our dream is the help change that.
The Adia Empowerment Center aims to bridge the gap by providing affordable and accessible training programs. Programs that teach specific trade skills to motivated adults so they can join the job market or, even better, start their own businesses.
The Amani Foundation is raising funds to help scholarship students for specific training programs.

Benefits:
When you give a willing person an opportunity to learn a trade, that person can thrive. By providing practical job training, students can go on to start businesses of their own. As those businesses grow, they will not only provide for themselves and their families, they will also be able to provide employment for others. This self-sustaining employment approach helps break the poverty cycle that holds so many back in developing countries.
