Passionate about Hand Skill Training like Plumping welding salon mechanics electrical web design painting catering etc Skills that will propel my Turkana Youths community who good number are in drugs, animal stealing from each and above all some dropped out of school due to school fee and others scored a low grade that made them discouraged in life. Therefore it inspired me to start TFT GRIT WORKSHOP that we will give hope to Turkana Youths through Hand Skills that they can feed themselves in future.

It can sound like a big undertaking to leave the comfort of your home, but once you learn about all the options for the special needs, you’ll see how many of them are living their best lives and taking frequent vacations.
Just because your mobility is limited, doesn’t mean your options are not available.
