Meet Caroline Wanjiku, a 33-year old mother of three and one of the growing cohort of budding highly-skilled women artisans at <\/span>Lynk Kenya<\/span><\/a>. In 2018, Caroline was a jobless single mother eking meagre livelihood in Nairobi’s Huruma slums, where she encountered a local CBO, Vision Sisters, who introduced her to women’s skilling program conducted by\u00a0<\/span>Buildher<\/span><\/a>. <\/span><\/p>

She joined the programme and after 4 months, graduated with entry level skills on Carpentry and Joinery. She thereafter secured a placement at\u00a0<\/span>Lynk Kenya<\/span><\/a>\u00a0as an apprentice, guided by professionals for 8 months, to attain her Grade 3 National Industrial Training certification.<\/span> With a broad smile, she now handles her own projects (making client furniture), she earns reasonably and has since moved her family to a safer middle-income Umoja Estate in Nairobi. <\/span><\/p>

Caroline aims to start her own gig by 2025 and become a satellite producer for Lynk and other firms. A story of empowerment, job creation and better livelihood.<\/span> <\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
