Empowering Girls through Shirikisho Crafts: A Haven for Skills, Counseling, and Spiritual Growth



Shirikisho Crafts, a unique initiative under the Oyugis Integrated Project (OIP), is transforming the lives of young women through skill acquisition, counseling, and spiritual guidance. This program is not only an avenue for vocational training but also a safe space where participants can address personal challenges and grow holistically.

Every Friday, the students gather for group counseling sessions and spiritual guidance, creating an environment of mutual support and collective healing. These sessions, led by experienced counselors and spiritual mentors, focus on promoting mental well-being, fostering resilience, and cultivating a sense of purpose. The group setting encourages open dialogue, allowing the girls to share experiences and learn from one another.

Beyond the group sessions, Shirikisho Crafts offers personalized one-on-one counseling available on any day of the week. This individualized approach ensures that every student receives the attention and care they need to navigate life’s challenges. Whether it’s emotional struggles, family issues, or personal growth goals, the program provides a listening ear and practical advice tailored to each individual’s situation.

At the heart of Shirikisho Crafts is a commitment to empowering girls with practical skills. The program trains young women in various crafts, such as tailoring, beadwork, and other creative arts. These skills not only provide a source of income but also instill confidence and independence in the participants. The crafts program is designed to foster entrepreneurship, encouraging students to explore ways of turning their newfound skills into sustainable livelihoods.
By investing in the holistic growth of these young women, Shirikisho Crafts is not just changing lives—it is creating a ripple effect of transformation that will benefit entire communities for generations to come.
