7. Offering Vocational
Training to the youth;
8. Offering community
library services;
9. Acting as a Focal Center
for local and international volunteers on experiential learning and cultural
exchange; and
10. Promoting culture
of the local people.
The Kitutu iHub is projected
to benefit over 10,000 beneficiaries thereby transforming their lives directly
and indirectly. Among those we have targeted are in and out of school youth,
small-scale farmers, youth and women groups, teenage mothers, and the
disadvantaged poor from the Kitutu Village, Kisii County in the republic of
Kenya and beyond. 4Health Centers (Dispensaries) and over 10 primary and
secondary schools as well as farmers from 3 tea buying centres and an orphanage/pre-school
within the Center in the densely populated Kitutu Village will benefit
The Kitutu iHub will
be linked local community based organizations (CBOs), County and National
Governments, Professionals, United Nations, Diplomatic Missions, The Diaspora, Colleges
and Universities, Corporations, and International Development Partners to meet
its initial Budget of USD$150,000. The iHub will act as the grassroot base and regional
office for the implementation of the Aid Kenya Foundation’s HADAP’s
Gifts-of-Love Project within the region.
Rural Kenya has
limited information and development and we believe the Kitutui iHub will expand
the flow of information thereby helping changing lives, impacting humanity.
