The Kiserem Epilepsy Foundation is an organization that is registered by the society’s act of Kenya in 2017. We are members of the National epilepsy coordination committee we are based in Kakamega county We are managed by local youths living with epilepsy aiming to Nurture, Empower and Transform people with epilepsy and mental health to be self-reliant and independent.
We are writing to you inquiring a possibility of partnership to support our youths living with epilepsy in kakamega county, lwandetti with wish of starting a beauty and cosmetology project that will empower our women living with epilepsy making them to be financially stable, independent and able to buy anti epilepsy medicines.
Many people living with epilepsy are often discriminated at work because many say that they are demon possessed. with this training they will be able to start their own business or be employed. We will connect them with government offices for them to be helped to start their businesses. People with disabilities don’t pay tax to the city council fees for their jobs so they will be at an advantage if they set up their own practices.
The epilepsy women that we shall be working with are on medication and their seizures are now under control and DRs have given them a green light to work . Peris mwai will be in charge of the beauty program
Our classes will run for 5 months and we shall teach Nail art, hair dressing, facials, massage, manicure and pedicure. After the classes we shall help the women get attachments and jobs.
We have estimated our project will cost 4000$ and the organization will contribute 300$
