KIWOHEDE’s work aims to empower young women, providing them with the skills to live an independent life, free from exploitation.

Having completed counselling, basic education and vocational training at the KIWOHEDE centres, upon ‘graduation’ some of the young women are given packages and assistance in order to set up their own businesses.

I visited some of the shops owned by KIWOHEDE graduates and was pleased to see that some are now in a position to give something back to KIWOHEDE, by employing some of the current KIWOHEDE girls as apprentices!
