Not every child at school goes on to be doctor or a pilot, but everyone can earn a living and make a contribution to their community if they have the skills. Recognising this, Footsteps’ strategy has led us to partner with the local technical training college in Katito, previously known as the Katito Village Polytechnic. An initial investment of £28k raised over the last year allowed Footsteps to build a block of three classrooms and renovate three more, all 6 of which will allow the facility to provide a good environment for teaching skills such as building technology, motor mechanics, dressmaking, electrical engineering, hair dressing and beauty therapy, food processing and computer technology. But this is not the end of the story…
More equipment is needed, and as with all our building projects, once new infrastructure arrives, enrollment increases. The money raised this year will also help the college expand and build more classes rooms on a neighbouring piece of land.
