Ignite Your Destiny

Ignite Your Destiny International is an organization of excellence whose purpose is to equip and empower youth and communities through learning centers known as Ignite Your Destiny Training Institute. The first project will be located in rural Kenya and will provide formal education, life skills and vocational training. The goal is to provide various forms of education to empower the youth and ign

ite their destinies to be productive members of the communities. The hope is this needed training will contribute towards alleviating personal and local poverty by producing job market ready individuals and independent entrepreneur’s able to cope with the social and economic demands. In addition this will meet overall educational needs and improve standards of living. Vocational education, life skills and training will be achieved by offering courses that promote skills development, preparing students for higher education as well as providing apprenticeships in trades and with various service industries. Vocational education is one promising avenue for addressing some of the challenges such as the diversification of the job market, supply and demand etc. The youth will be given a second chance through an attractive practical alternative to traditional schooling that could smooth the schooling to work transition for those unable to manage the traditional schooling track. Practical vocational training schooling programs are crucial given the high drop-out rates from primary school and limited primary to secondary school transition rates. Our Training Institute will offer fair start options and deliver more readily-marketable skills to the youth. In terms of empowering the greater communities we will also offer adult education training programs such as food security, proper storage methods, hygiene, nutrition, income generating projects and self-sustainability. At Ignite Your Destiny, we believe that laying a firm foundation based on biblical principles will strengthen spiritual and moral values and influence some of the basic yet fundamental challenges like youth culture, life style and character excellence. The Institute leadership and volunteers will encourage the youth to rise to their potential destinies and vision to transform their communities.
