- Message from Mr. Muungwana Life Skills 2011 Award Winner
I have attended Life Skills’ training before and I considered myself a relatively well informed person before I began the course. However, as the training progressed, I learned a lot and benefited immensely from overall perspective of the course. It was a lot more intense than I had anticipated. I really didn't expect to feel much different than I did when I started this course, but that isn't the case.

- Life Skills ( Charles Morris Gitonga )
Morris is a form four leaver. He completed his secondary school in 2007 but had no fees to proceed with his secondary education. He heard about the Youth Programme from his area Councillor who told him that , “Youth are applying for something on Youth Scholarship at the District Officers Office in Kawangware but am not sure, you can check and apply too”. Morris therefore decided to go and check out immediately since he has been yearning to find such opportunities but has not been succeeding. When he reached there, he found out that it was not a scholarship but a short term Training and Internship Program.
