Hawker’s Market Girls Centre, Kenya
The school is a training center running two-year programs for girls supported by donations. The goal is to teach them skills that will allow them to lead a self-sustained life doing any one of a host of things: dressmaking, catering, computer services etc. Currently only a small set of girls gets this opportunity but the school has aspirations to help many more.
