ComPart
The Community Participation Programme. Free skills training for young adults, over months rather than days.
Pillar
Empowerment
Agency, leadership and the practical capacity to act. We train the people already doing the work.
The need
Young adults in these communities are not short of willingness. They are short of training, equipment and a route from willing to employed.
The volunteers who ran the registration desk at our February outreach in Kunyami are the clearest example. They gave a day of skilled work and had nowhere to take it next.
Our approach
We recruit from the people who already turn up, train them in a marketable skill over months rather than days, and stay with them after the training ends.
Every session pairs a technical skill with a human one. Prototyping with resourcefulness. Costing with financial literacy. Pitching with public speaking.

From the registration desk to a graduation
The young people who staffed our February outreach in Kunyami became the first ComPart cohort. They met fortnightly from February to June, and on 7 June they presented designs, media projects and community advocacy plans. The public health stream went on to plan and run Operation Keep Kunyami Clean.
