Uhuru Training Centre: the first floor
The ground floor is finished, with a bigger workshop and a small shop whose income helps keep the school running. Next is the first floor: room for new trades, so even more young people can learn a skill.
New trades, more freedom
Three new, shorter trainings for 50 more young people: many can't spend three years in sewing class because they have to help their parents earn money. Customers pay the trainees a fair price for their work, which keeps the new classes running.
