Vocational & Life Skills Training
- Vocational & Life Skills Training
Turning potential into productivity — we equip youth and single mothers with hands-on skills to build self-reliance and lasting livelihoods.
Skills First. Dependency Ends.
Youth unemployment in Kalaki District is among the highest in Uganda — and many young people, especially girls, drop out of school with no access to further learning or work.
IYF’s vocational and life skills program gives them a second chance. With practical training, business coaching, and a supportive learning environment, we help them turn raw talent into dignified work.
