for Disabled Young Women
Mombasa, Kenya
The Shanzu Workshop have been doing some incredible work since it was established in 1992.
This all begun when Mrs. Damu P. Shah and other members of the Kenya Girl Guides Association saw the vital need to provide education and training to disabled girls. Since then it has been helping women with disabilities gain confidence and skills which will help them integrate themselves in the community.

I have been going to Shanzu for some years now, The work they do in fascinating and inspiring. When the girls first arrive they are scared, marginalized by society and strugling to find adequate jobs. However upon completion of the 2 year course, not only do they leave with a Tailors qualification, but with an array of incredibly valuable skills such as basic business managment, computer skills, good farming practices and production, amongst others.
This project is to highlight the amazing work done here at Shanzu over the last 20 years. The dedication of all funders, organizers, mentors and pupils is incredible. More people should be aware of this beautiful organization doing some great things, and making life just a bit easier for the ones that most need it.
Just a Thank you and keep up the fantastic work.
