About my work:
I have no mercy or compassion in me for a society that will crush people, and then penalize them for not being able to stand up under the weight. How has the world of the child changed in the last 150 years?' … the answer is. 'It's hard to imagine any way in which it hasn't changed….they're' immersed in all kinds of stuff that was unheard of 150years ago, and yet if you look at schools today versus 100 years ago, they are more similar than dissimilar'.
Other Topics on my radar:
Community Awareness Programme
Community Care Programme (CCP)
Family Counseling Programme
Youth Development Programme
Education and Development Programme

We believe supporting entrepreneurs in developing countries is crucial to lifting people out of poverty.

We aim at providing Business Model & creating Opportunity for the poor, Under and Un Educated Youths, Training and assistance to young ENTREPRENEURS to help them to start their own industry for growth, be Self Employed to escape the endless cycle of poverty.

We have developed compact Mini machines (Plastics) affordable and convenient for the common people to start with a very small capital. The machine provides wide product range and many industry options to work with. We have been conferred by PLASTINDIA FOUNDATION with PLASTICON AWARD for the same.

We provide training and assistance to Entrepreneurs to start their own ventures in Plastic industry and also participate in EDP organised by Government and Non government organisations

Hi Kwama,

I am familiar with Kenya. I have been a few times and I think it is a very interesting place. I have read your website and think that what you have in place will create many great opportunities, expecially for young girls or women. I have worked with refugee children and it was a very rewarding experience. Who contributes the greatest to the organisations funding?

best wishes,
Katrina

Hi Kwama,

I just checked out your website and was extremely impressed by your work. I would like to know more about your youth development programme with a view to possibly writing a profile on it.

Hi Kwama,

It is indeed unfortunate about the youth dropouts. But I also note that we are on the same wave length in discouraging harmful business practices such as charcoal which attracts a lot of young entrepreneurs due to the low start up costs. My email is yipe@marsgroupkenya.org where we can continue this discussion.

Hi Kwama and thanks for your message.
Tartans for Africa is becoming an important source of funds for projects throughout the Continent whilst creating awareness.
Three recent events that might interest you:
Last saturday I attended the final qualifying heat of the Miss Africa Scotland contest tyo meet and size the girls for the International Fashion Show later in the year.
I have chosen a young Kenyan student to be the face of Africa in a photo-shoot promoting fashionwear in 12 different African tartans.
A sample of a new educational tool/game to improve literacy and numeracy has been sent to Chogoria to be tested out.
