Notable achievements

Kabasara Health Services facility dedicated (2020)

Student housing / dormitory construction (2023)

Friends of Kibbuse funded construction of a new dormitory at the Kibbuse Vocational Training Centre (male dormitory completed in 2023) to increase student capacity and support continuity of education following COVID-era safety considerations.

Sustained support for teacher salaries and program operations

Since its founding, the organization’s primary role has been to underwrite staff salaries and program development at the vocational centre so tuition can remain low and more young people gain vocational skills to pursue livelihoods.
