An MOU was signed this 6th August 2024 between BK Foundation and the Igire Implementing Partners at Ubumwe Grande Hotel, marking a significant partnership in supporting 200 youth from OVC and DREAMS supported districts to pursuit TVET program throughout 2027.
As a pilot phase, this activity will be implemented in five districts namely Muhanga, Kayonza, Kicukiro, Rwamagana and Nyamasheke targeting 200 youth from OVC and DREAMS supported districts. The prioritized districts have a bigger youth population that needs TVET scholarship, and majority are adolescent girls and young women.
The selection of participants will involve BKF and local leaders to ensure we are targeting the most in need and avoid overlap with other development partners in targeted districts.
This cohort of 200 youth will be for a 12-month period, including six months of intense trainings, three months of internship and three more for monitoring to track and report on employment.
