Our work · Livelihoods & enterprise
Premises and office equipment that let young people earn from crafts made from natural and recycled materials, and from office services.
Many young people in Gede could not find work.
GIFT funded premises for the Ujumula group, plus a computer, printer and photocopier so the group could earn extra income from office services. The young people make crafts from natural and recycled materials and sell them to local people and visitors.

Gede (coast)
Smart Gift Fashion Studio & Accessories gives school leavers from Kakuyuni School for the Deaf skilled, paid work.
Maasai Mara & Ngong
Cattle owned by women's self-help groups. Selling cattle rebuilds the herd, and the remaining profit pays for education and health.
Every gift goes to projects that communities have chosen and run themselves.
