Community Engagement

Imani Vocational Training Centre is dedicated to even more than providing its students the opportunity to build longterm stability and prosperity. The school realizes that for every student that is fortunate to receive vocational training, there are many children and adults from the surrounding community that do not receive that opportunity. Those lacking in formal education will continue to live a life that is largely dependent on uncontrollable factors, such as rainfall, with limited opportunity for meaningful improvements to their quality of life.

As Imani Vocational Training Centre learns valuable lessons about which projects and initiatives can best be used to support itself, it eagerly shares knowledge and tools with the surrounding community through educational outreach events. The emphasis on economic development in the community is worthy unto itself, but will also help the school improve its own finances through increases in school fees paid and products and services purchased. Imani VTC is also assembling and disseminating a collection of printed resources documenting best practices.
