A few months back Man Up provided a gift to Kerith ministries of $5000 to help us acquire tools to equip the carpentry and fabrication Skills Center department. The goal was to provide men with the skills who can't afford to pay for such training, yet they have the capacity to learn. Since we received the funds, we purchased the needed equipment to start the trainings. We started with 12 men, 8 of them were doing welding and fabrication and 4 were doing carpentry. These men have been dedicated to train and now they are able to make good products like beds, chairs, and stools.
Our ministry has also benefited because the men can do maintenance on our furniture at Kerith School & Children’s Home. These men currently are also able to make some little money through repairs or making products from people outside Kerith. This has given them hope for a better living and future.
After this success, through the Man Up Country Director, Geofrey Ochari, we are ready for any man graduating from the AMP Program recommended by him to come and get the training. We are also targeting young men who have dropped out of school or who have rehabilitated from drug abuse and domestic abuse from the district of Pallisa and beyond.
We want to appreciate the trust and partnership with Man Up that brings transformation in the lives of people.
