Our Employment Programs
Through skills training, entrepreneurship support, and income-generating projects, we support financial independence for families.
Employment
Over one hundred women create unique beadwork to be sold to Lemong'o Project volunteers at the “mamas market” within the village. The beadwork is purchased from the women at a fair trade price, which directly benefits their families. Much of the beadwork is then brought to the US and sold at local community events. Proceeds from sales are used to fund The Lemong'o Project's work in the village. The project sponsors workshops in Lemong'o to teach mamas how to make a variety of items that will appeal to US customers. These workshops are taught by two very talented Lemong'o mamas.
School Cooks
Local women are hired to cook school lunches for the students every day using food provided by The Lemong'o Project.
Community Projects
The community has begun to explore ways in which to develop enterprises with sustainable solutions to meet their ongoing needs. Once plans have been developed, funds will be needed to launch these enterprises.
