Rachel the first born in a family of 5 siblings raised by a single mother. 3 years Rachel’s mother got mental illness and she was not able to support her children any longer at the time Rachel was at a secondary ordinary level of schooling (senior two) when she was taken on by Skills of charity Africa to support her through school up to Senior 4 after which she joined the SOCA skilling program where she has learned lots of hands on skills including tailoring skills, currently Rachel works with the skilling program teaching tailoring skills to other less privileged of the community including, refugees, single mothers and widows the SOCA tailoring workshop.
Rachel’s dream is to study business management she believes
this will open up opportunities that will earn her enough income to support her
siblings at home and take them to school, doing business is also Rachel’s
passion and she believes studying business management will help refine her
gifts and equip her with skills and knowledge that will make her successful in
life.
The program children celebrate the birthday of Esther one of
the children on the sponsorship program;
At SOCA Home, children have opportunities to learn different hands on skills ranging from tailoring and art crafts, hair dressing to being exposed to agricultural skills in both faming and rearing domestic animals…during school holidays which complements the academic knowledge attained in schools equipping the kids with life skills that are much more practical in real life.
The SOCA home provides a safe environment free of survival for
the children on our sponsorship program where they are able to dream and get
engaged in worthwhile activities that equips them with life skills and shapes a
positive character.
Children learn tailoring skills, crafting and engage in several
playing games that not only helps in brain development and also in physical
body health.
