Fostering CHANGE-MAKERS for Inclusion & Equality:
Professional Training in the Aid and Development Sector
Are you looking to expand your skills in development work, create greater impact and network with similarly-minded people…whilst also helping those at the community level?
THRIVE FOR CHANGE is an innovative training platform that aims to support the empowerment of humanitarian aid and development workers, with a strong emphasis on gender equality and inclusion. This is carried out through the provision of professional development courses and regional leadership training in East Africa and beyond, with social outreach to marginalised refugee communities in Nairobi.
Specifically, the organisation aims to enhance the skills and knowledge of international and local NGO staff, consultants and local civil society/government representatives in front-line, best practices related to gender and development, social enterprise, research techniques, and leadership, and to promote women’s networking and exchange.
The proceeds generated from these professional training courses are then used for pro-bono outreach to support marginalised refugee men and women in Kenya as local change agents that can support peer-to-peer learning and development in their communities.
