Kijabe Practical Training Center (KPTC)

Equipping young men and women with life skills needed to earn a living and contribute to their communities.

The Need for practical training is great. There are many organizations feeding AIDS orphans, and whille this is work important, it is not enough. Training these at risk young people with life skills is key in breaking the cycle of poverty and disease. The Kijabe Practical Training Center (KPTC) will train young men and women in the skills of welding, small engine repair metal fabrication and spray painting. In addition to this practical training, students will also receive basic business education and instruction in character development as part of the KPTC curriculum.
