KYEEDA Technical Training Institute

KYEEDA Technical Training Institute is the skills college of the Kenya Youth Education and Economic Development Association (KYEEDA), a community organisation based in Lucky Summer estate that also works in Korogocho, Baba Dogo and the Mathare settlements. It is a private technical and vocational college registered with the TVET Authority (2025), and the association describes its courses as NITA-accredited. Training is aimed at young people aged about 16 to 30 from the surrounding estates and focuses on practical trades that can lead to work or a small business: tailoring and fashion design, computer packages, graphic design and digital skills, catering and food production, and salon and beauty therapy. Learners practise in workshops with industry tools and also take short units on bookkeeping, customer care and starting a micro-business. The association keeps fees low with donor support, gives some graduates starter tool kits, links them to jobs and follows up on alumni. KYEEDA also runs an education support programme and a feeding programme for children in the area, including KYEEDA Lucky Summer School.
