A home and vocational development center for women and teenage mothers in Arusha. This began as a grassroots project started by a woman (who recently passed away) which grew into an incredible facility that has developed and rescued hundreds of young women. The staff all have degrees in their field and consist of a team of 6 teachers, a social worker and their director.
The girls are under a strict program that provides a yearlong curriculum (January to November) which includes formal education and vocational lessons. They are able to choose vocational training of either hairdressing, cooking/hospitality, teaching (Montessori curriculum) and tailoring/textiles design. The center has dedicated workshops fully equipped to provide the training to a high standard. The girls then attend 3 month internships in various businesses in Arusha to gain practical work experience before graduating at the end of the year. The Women Empowerment Development Centre currently has a 90% success rate of employment for the girls.
MONTESSORI DAYCARE The center also has a daycare with a fully equipped Montessori training center for those who want to graduate as preschool teachers. Many of the women and girls' babies attend the daycare, but the daycare also takes in children from the surrounding community
