Economic Empowerment
Under this program, we have two projects:
Entrepreneurship
We train young adults, women, and men with disabilities in business development. Using the Street Business School business model. The training helps the trainees to unlock their potential by challenging them on how to get out of their comfort zone, how to identify potential opportunities, how to find capital for starting a business, how to start small, business planning, and bookkeeping and money management
Vocational Training
Through our Skills Development Center, youth, women, and men with disabilities are skilled and empowered on how to tailor, kniting, make candles, welding and metal fabrication, joinery and carpentry, Shoe repair and shoemaking, computer application, handcrafting, and also are trained in business development. In the end, this leads to the promotion of the right to WORK and employment for persons with disabilities.

Karambi has empowered me to be able to do kitchen gardening using permaculture skills and I am now able to feed my children on a balanced diet. Before I joined Karambi, I would fear how to feed the children, and I would leave them without food because the food was scarce. But now after gaining skills in permaculture, I am able to sustainably feed the children.
Karambi has given me the skills to produce food to feed the children and myself on a balanced diet, and I can sell some to get an income. I have a group that normally goes to the market to do business – selling eggplants, tomatoes, onions. When my husband died years back, the challenge was food. But after getting the skills in sustainable agriculture I am now able to feed the children. And if I am empowered more and more, I will be able to do more agriculture and then sell part of the crops to pay for school fees and buy scholastic materials for the children. I have also been able to empower the children to learn the skills too.
