The "Isuku" project - which means "hygiene" in Kirundi, is an initiative intended primarily for economically disadvantaged women. We teach them skills in modern cleaning and maintenance techniques, for homes and other premises; to promote health and contribute to the reduction of dirty hands diseases. Our courses, which are sanctioned by a certificate, not only develop technical skills, but also effectively encourage to the desired behavioral changes within communities.

One of the project goals is to promote the work of women through enhancing their capacities. At the end of their training, our graduates are sent on work placements in different hotels and establishments in the city, and some are offered full-time jobs. The impact of Isuku on the community are huge and visible, through the health of families and their income increase when our graduates find employment. Furthermore, the women who find work are trained in saving, lending and trading, and are helped to open bank accounts. This is so they do not become dependent on their salaries, learn to save, and think of initiating projects that will further increase the quality of their lives.
