The Need Lack of skills training opportunities among young women is a common issue in Embul Bul Ward, Ngong, Kajiado County and in Kieni Nyeri County often, due to socio norms, lack of employment opportunities and financial crisis, they are unable to undertake vocational and skill trainings in the expensive training centers. Young women most of who are high school leavers and drop outs depend on housekeeping, , collecting fodder and collecting firewood to earn income. They do casual labor work that produce poor earning which is not sufficient to arrange meal twice daily. This impact on their health and that of their children. Due to lack of vocational training facilities in Embul Bul Ward, Ngong, Kajiado County and Kieni in Nyeri County these young women are never offered these techniques to create their micro enterprises in a profitable manner. It on this background that Future Adventure resolved take a patriotic challenge to initiate various skills training programmes to help these young women who are struggling with their daily lives. This programme include vocational and skills development and will be reaching to these young women with appropriate community mobilization and capacity building. We are offering tailoring and dressing making, beauty techniques and cooking but the courses will be expanded every year Women play an active role in day to day survival of the poorer communities in these villages. They bear the double burden of work in the house and out of the house. The low rate of literacy in the women of disadvantaged part of the community. They do not have any other skill to earning. There is increasing risk for scarcity of livelihood and employment in the region. There are few and unevenly distributed technical vocational training centres. Kenya has over 700 technical vocational training centres to serve a country of 50 Million people which include; four national polytechnics, one technical teachers college, about 35 technical training institutes, and over 600 youth polytechnics (commonly refered to as village polytechnics) which are mostly concentrated in economically endowed counties and almost non-existent in arid and semi-arid areas like Kajiado and Kieni Sub- County There is a consistent decline in the quality of training offered in training centres as a result of declining number of quality trainers and a lack of modern and efficient machine and equipment. There is a lack of relevance in skills taught that match with occupational and social realities present in today's economy. Some training centres continue to teach skills that no longer have a market and ignore those that do have and this is the need Future Adventure is addressing.

Mission: Improve the quality of life in Africa, according to the specific needs of each place, focusing especially on education, health and nutrition problems, while promoting cultural exchange between communities. Vision: To be seen as a model non-profit organization that supports African community development, helping these communities to be self-sustaining through the good use of their resources. OUR VALUES: Commitment/Passion/Empathy/Service Explanation. Entre Tribus was founded by a group of Chilean professionals who lived a common experience: being volunteers in Africa, contributing and helping with all their knowledge in different communities. Their experiences were the foundation of the dream of creating Entre Tribus, a non-profit organization that brings together professionals with experience in different areas (doctors, dentist, nutritionists, teachers, etc.), in order to contribute in a multidisciplinary way to the development of the African communities they want to empower. That is why Entre Tribus seeks to improve the quality-of-life in Africa according to the needs of each one, focusing mainly on health, food, and education problems. At the same time, Entre Tribus seeks to promote cultural exchange between Chile and the different African communities, so that both learning and teaching are reciprocal. We send volunteers from Latin America to Africa for a year, allowing volunteers and the communities themselves to learn from the different cultures and what each one has to contribute. Trying to bring this life-changing experience to more people. Hence, Entre Tribus seeks to be seen as a model organization that supports African community development, allowing them to, eventually, be self-sustaining through the proper use of their resources but at the same time becoming a model in integration and cultural exchange, especially in a globalized world like the one we live in today.
We strive to create an integrated and innovative approach to education and community development that improves literacy rates and fosters socio-economic well-being with the active support and leadership of the community.

The Nasio Trust's mission is to break the cycle of poverty and empower communities in western Kenya to become self-sufficient through education, improved health, and food production. The charity sponsors the education, nutrition, and healthcare of 320 orphaned and vulnerable children (OVC) in an HIV-prone zone of Kakamega County. It also meets the economic needs of the community by running a sustainable agriculture programme training 600 farmers and improving healthcare outcomes by running a Peer Education Programme on Sexual and Reproductive Health. The Nasio Trust aims to keep OVCs within the community and empowers guardians to earn an income. It also runs a medical centre, treating over 19,000 patients in 2022. The charity's ethos ensures that stakeholders are integral to its decision-making. It works closely with schools, local government, health workers, and religious leaders. The mission started in October 2000, when the late Irene Mudenyo found an abandoned baby in a sugarcane plantation on her farm in a small village in western Kenya. Irene's attempts to find the child's parents or relatives proved futile and during the course of her search the extent to which AIDS and HIV related illness had devastated family life in the local community became apparent. Despite being elderly and a grandmother herself, Irene decided to care for the child naming him Moses. These experiences lead to the formation in 2003 of The Nasio Trust by Irene's daughters. From humble beginnings in a roadside kiosk providing one meal a day to fifteen local children, The Nasio Trust has come a long way.
