We believe every child has purpose, potential, and gifts worth sharing. At Ubuntu Life Foundation Vocational University, our training model helps young adults with special needs develop real-world skills and prepare for meaningful work and community reintegration.
Each student’s journey follows five phases, from exploration and interest mapping to skill specialization and community reintegration. Along the way, instructors provide technical training, spiritual mentorship, and emotional support.
Learners explore vocational paths like:
Catering, hospitality, and housekeeping
Farming and agribusiness
Beadwork, tailoring, and design
Baking, fine arts, and paper crafts
Digital and storytelling skills
A home for healing, learning, and belonging
In July 2022, Ubuntu Life Foundation opened the Children’s Wellness Center, a 22,000-square-foot space purpose-built to meet the medical, developmental, and social needs of children with special needs under one roof. Located on 11 acres in Maai Mahiu, Kenya, the Center is the first and only facility of its kind in the region.
