Our mission: Inspiring Nyamboyo’s youth to create a prosperous future by removing systematic barriers, and equipping them with vocational education, life skills, entrepreneurial opportunities, and a deep commitment to community and civic life.
Over a 3-year course of study, our students become nationally certified professionals in one of four fields, ready to enter the Kenyan workforce.
School is completely free. Students pay no tuition and receive 3 meals daily, uniforms, all school supplies, and reusable sanitary pads for female students. There are no hidden fees so families can afford to send their children to school.
Women in Kenya face many hurdles to becoming self-sufficient professionals. NTS provides women with tools to move past challenges through opportunity and personal growth!
With a population of 58,000, Nyamboyo Village is rich in natural resources, while access to modern necessities is limited. With an education, NTS students escape many of the generational traps of poverty that affect their families.
Education is my personal story. It changed the trajectory of my life. I believe that in Nyamboyo, education and employment can lift us permanently out of poverty.
I love this course because it’s practically oriented and I get satisfaction when I switch on a bulb and it lights!
Because of our school, we have the opportunity to become self-reliant and independent. We are all so proud of ourselves.
My favorite part about Nyamboyo is being able to learn. If I was not in Nyamboyo, I would not be in school right now.
I like this course because it’s a valuable money-making skill in Kenya. When I leave Nyamboyo, I want to work in construction.
We are proud to partner with organizations like For A Better Tomorrow and AFRIpads. Together we are building lasting change for a generation in Nyamboyo Village.
We are proud to announce that 100% of our students passed their national exam administered by Kenya’s National Industrial Training Authority (NITA). Nearly 50% passed with a score of 75% and above which far exceeds the national average.
This means that 1st and 2nd-year students will all be promoted to the next grade level and 3rd-year students will graduate in December 2023. This is our first cohort of graduates!
From renovations to new construction, our young masons and carpenters are experienced and trained. Students graduate as nationally certified masons and carpenters, ready to join a crew or venture out on their own.
Quality hair care is always in demand. Our students are trained and certified to take on any hair need from cuts and color to weaves. They are ready to join salons or strike out as small business owners.
Nyamboyo Technical School tailoring students learn a full range of skills from complex sewing to clothing and accessory design. In a village where mass-produced clothing can be hard to find, tailors provide an always needed service. Our students graduate as nationally certified tailors with many employment options.
In our community, electricians are in high demand. Nyamboyo Technical School students graduate as nationally certified electricians, ready to join an electrics team or venture out on their own.
