Unemployment among women and youths has never before been as high as it is now. Yet at the African PRIDE Centre, we are convinced that there has never been a better time to be young, or a woman than this. The world is bursting with opportunities, and every day, new interventions that answer questions that we had never thought to ask are emerging. It is time to tackle women and youth unemployment in this spirit.
At the African PRIDE Centre, we challenge women and youths to stop asking “why me?” by developing a mindset that is positive in outlook and global in ambition. We challenge women and youths to appreciate that the ‘job-for-life’ has gone – but opened up new opportunities.
We nurture such rewarding talents as performing arts, bodybuilding, martial arts, and online jobs, among others.
The famous Mtumishi and Mchungaji duo that entertain Kenyans on local TV stations are just but a small example of how our performing arts portfolio is transforming lives.
Body-builders that train at African PRIDE Centre are demanded in major entertainment areas to maintain order.
At grassroots level, women and youths are engaging in such alternative occupations as briquetting, horticulture, chicken farming, as well as farming and value addition on products like orange-fleshed sweet potatoes.
Find out more about the alternative occupations, and how you could support, by contacting us through africanpridecentre@gmail.com
