Buildher

Buildher Workforce development for women in construction finishes—skilled labor, custom furniture, and impact you can measure.
(1)

Buildher is a nonprofit social enterprise and workforce development partner transforming Kenya’s construction industry by training low-income women and supporting them to launch successful careers in the construction finishes trades. Our 12-month program combines technical training, wellness, professional development, job placement, and career access support—equipping women with the skills, tools,

and networks needed to access dignified, sustainable work. To date, we’ve trained over 700 women, with 80% securing income-generating roles. We provide a reliable pipeline of certified, work-ready tradeswomen and operate an alumnae-led furniture business that produces high-quality, custom residential and commercial pieces. We also link clients and employers to certified fundis for painting, tiling, and carpentry & joinery services. We welcome partnerships with organizations seeking skilled labor solutions, social impact collaboration, or durable, well-crafted furniture and finishes for homes, offices, and development projects.

Labour Day recognises the dignity of work and the people whose effort builds and sustains our lives.

Today we honour all those whose labour builds, sustains, and carries our families, communities and economies forward.

Family Day is about bringing families into the work to:

- See the Buildher Training Innovation Hub and Training.
- To meet the team.
- Understand what it takes to succeed in the Buildher program.

Family and social support is what helps women stay consistent and move into work.

We are passionate about building each woman by working with the people around her.

Tiling Trade Offers:

• Consistent demand across housing and interior projects
• Clear pathways to daily income and growth
• Opportunities to work on-site or take on your own jobs
• A trade where quality work gets noticed and paid

Like most trades, tiling is hands-on, focused work. You build discipline, confidence, and control over your income.

At Buildher, we train women to move from learning to real work. From the first tile to the first finished space.

Train. Work. Earn. Grow.

Family Day is an integral part of the program. It allows us to bring families into the process, so they understand the work, the commitment, and the opportunity ahead.

Our event preparation allows us to align as a team and deliver the day properly.

We sit together and go through the plan to ensure that families see the work and understand women’s journey through their training.

The construction sector does not just need skilled labour.
It needs stronger support around how work is delivered.

Buildher artisans are building specialised businesses in materials, finishes, and technical supply. They use their experience to understand site requirements and installation standards, and supply accordingly.

Construction is wider than site work.
We want to see women represented across the full value chain.

Buildher hosted Emily Jeanson, a US-based contractor and founder of the women-led home improvement company Hirs. She spent time with our Technical Team, shared her journey building a contracting business, and led conversations on training, safety, and how women-led crews navigate male-dominated construction markets.

Women in construction face similar bias and barriers across the world. Geography changes, but the restrictions often do not.

That is why Buildher is connecting women in construction locally and globally, linking shared experience to stronger training and real work opportunities.

We are building Africa’s female construction workforce through learning, partnership, and practical pathways into skilled trades.
