MTD gives impoverished children and youths in Viwandani, Kenya a chance to identify themselves, learn how to take care of their community and how to behave in a modern society, and support one another on their long and difficult coming of age journey It was founded in March 2010, by Benedetta Mwongeli, in order to establish a permanent system for talented youth in the community. Our mission is to
give the youth of Viwandani the chance to take ownership of their futures in various ways: building jobs skills like computer use and management, developing talents through advanced dancing, theatre, yoga and karate classes, as well as providing general education on on topics including health and hygiene. The programs at MTD also give the youth a chance explore hidden talents. Our philosophy is that all young people deserve to be vocal and respected members of their communities, that education is the path to a better world for everyone, and that each person, regardless of his or her circumstances, has the power to shape the future. At the moment we are working on a Maasai Sandal and Macramé braceletts producing project which we are trying to promote andmake them famous around the world.
