At Lighting the Path, we believe that skills change
lives through opportunity. We provide high-quality vocational training to
underserved communities in Africa, equipping young people with the practical
skills they need to secure an income, start businesses, and build better
futures. Our programs focus on skills with high demand, ensuring graduates have
real opportunities for success.
Students who do not have high competitive grades or financial support to attend a university need options to have an income earning career. The skills we teach include tailoring, carpentry, welding, hairdressing, masonry and more and are greatly needed in society. These skills allow steady income and the opportunities to build careers, healthy families and futures. By empowering individuals with education and
hands-on vocational skills training, we’re not just building opportunities and careers—we’re transforming
communities.
