Success Story:Carol and Leah

Last week we were exited to visit two of our students who have set up a business after completing  their studies. Carol and Leah who have been students at KTDP Hairdressing school successfully completed their course on March 2012.

Carol had done the 6 months Hairdressing and 3 months beauty course, and her partner Leah had completed the 6 months hairdressing course. After the completion of their studies, they partnered together to start a Salon in the stalls at Kenyatta Market.

Kenyatta market is located near Kibera slums. The market is famous for its Nyama Choma(grilled meat),   hair salons and market stalls. It was a joy to see the lives of these young ladies transformed from being unskilled timid girls to self reliant people. While the Beauty industry in Kenya still does well and qualified people can find jobs,  we believe that setting up their own businesses gives better returns to these youth from Kibera and gives them the ability to become agents of the Transformation they encounter in KTDP  by creating jobs for other youths  from the slums.

We wish them the best and also take this opportunity to thank you for your support as you have contributed to the betterment of their lives.
