As the School of Purpose has grown, we have run out of classroom space. We currently have an office space beside our shelter. Many of our offices have been converted to classrooms but this is creating issues for both learners and staff.
In 2023, we plan to provide our eight month intensive training to hundreds of girls at our primary location. In order to do this, we need to build a proper Classroom Block. Not only will this new building allow us to take in more students and provide higher quality training without interruptions, it will also provide a small showroom from which girls can begin to sell their products.
We also intend to build a new bathroom facility for the students. The current restrooms are small, old, and face ongoing maintenance challenges. As more students are joining our program, the facility has become entirely insufficient. Our vision in everything to to make these girls feel like a princess. They are infinitely more valuable than they have ever been told and we want to reinforce this by providing a clean and enjoyable environment.
Furthermore, these new facilities will assist in our application for accreditation with the Directorate of Industrial Training (DIT).
The Remnant Generation has been serving women in Lyantonde district for three years now. However, the vast distances between medical and professional centers makes it extra challenging for women to escape abuse and survive complications during pregnancy. This year, The Remnant Generation's impact will be multiplied!
In addition to a new building, a new campus, and an ambulance, The Remnant Generation will rescue over 5000 women and their babies throughout 2023!
Near the end of the 2022 season, a small group of girls in the Community Skilling Program took the business strategies they learned in the School of Purpose and pooled their resources to purchase a pregnant pig. This blossoming Business Club has learned to raise, breed, and sell pigs! The new piggery will provide for their families and they have offered to teach other Business Clubs what they have learned about this unique business.
