Outreach

Outreach at Tumaini Innovation Center focuses on engaging and empowering vulnerable and street-connected youth through community-centered education, vocational training and innovation. It bridges marginalized young people with opportunities for learning, creativity and economic participation by providing hands-on technical skills, mentorship and life skills that support their rehabilitation and reintegration into society.

Step 1

Home

After rescue, a Youth at Tumaini Innovation Center goes through a structured and compassionate reintegration process designed to ensure their safety and successful return home. They first receive immediate care food, shelter, medical attention and counseling to help them recover physically and emotionally. Social workers then assess their background and trace their family, working closely with community leaders and the Department of Children’s Services. Once the family is found, reconciliation sessions help rebuild trust and address underlying issues before the student is safely escorted home, often with basic supplies. Follow-up visits continue after reunification to monitor the youth adjustment.

Step 2

Enrollment

Once a child is rescued, they first undergo a period of rehabilitation and counseling. social workers assess their background, interests and readiness for learning. After stabilization and family tracing efforts, those who cannot immediately return home or who show interest in skill development are enrolled into the VTC. During enrollment, each youth receives guidance to choose a suitable competency-based course such as welding, mechanics, tailoring, electrical installation, or food production based on their abilities and aspirations

Step 3

Vocational And Training

Enrollment at the Tumaini Innovation Center provides an opportunity for youth to gain practical skills that prepare them for employment or entrepreneurship. The process begins with outreach and assessment, where potential trainees are identified and guided through counseling sessions to determine their interests and abilities. Once enrolled, students choose from accredited technical and vocational courses such as welding and fabrication, motor vehicle mechanics, electrical installation, Cosmetology, food Production (Cookery) or Computer operations. Enrollment is inclusive, welcoming learners regardless of formal education level and often supported by partnerships or scholarships to reduce financial barriers. Throughout their training, students receive mentorship, life skills coaching, and entrepreneurship education, aligning with Tumaini’s mission to equip youth with market-relevant skills for sustainable livelihoods and community reintegration.

Step 4

Exit

Once trainees complete their courses, they go through career guidance, entrepreneurship training, and life skills sessions to help them transition smoothly into employment or self-employment. The center supports them in developing business plans, connecting with local employers, and accessing startup toolkits where possible. Before exit, social workers assess each youth’s readiness socially, emotionally and economically and may facilitate family or community reintegration if appropriate. Follow-up visits and mentorship continue after graduation to ensure sustained progress and stability.
