Empowering Youth Through Hands-On Skills & Purposeful Work
At E.M.M.Y, we believe every young person deserves the chance to build a better future. Our Vocational Skills Training Program is at the heart of this belief — providing vulnerable youth with practical skills, spiritual mentorship, and the confidence to become self-reliant leaders in their communities.
In Uganda, thousands of youth — especially girls, orphans, and school dropouts — face unemployment and hopelessness due to a lack of practical skills. Education alone is not enough without opportunities to earn and build.
That’s where we come in. Our Vocational Centre in Mbarara is a haven of transformation, where young people are not just trained to work — they are empowered to thrive.
Our programs are hands-on, accessible, and spiritually grounded. Each course blends technical instruction with Christian mentorship and leadership development.
Students are taught by experienced instructors and are mentored in areas like teamwork, discipline, and Godly character.
There are no formal academic requirements — just a heart willing to learn and grow.
We don’t stop at training — we equip for life.
With these resources, many of our alumni go on to start salons, tailoring shops, catering businesses, or mobile repair services.
“I never thought I could become anything. But now, I earn daily from my baking and even teach other girls.”
— Joan, Catering Graduate
“When I finished the tailoring course, I started my own workshop. Today, I support my siblings and tithe at church.”
— Daniel, Tailoring Graduate
Every contribution helps a young person break the cycle of poverty and walk into purpose.
The Vocational Centre is located in Mbarara, Uganda and is open to visitors, supporters, and mission teams. Come and see transformation in motion.
At E.M.M.Y, we don’t just teach trades — we ignite dreams, build leaders, and prepare a generation to rise.
