Being part of CDTD has truly changed my life. The trainings at the Mathare Hub equipped me with practical skills in communication, housekeeping, and understanding my rights as a domestic worker. They have helped me work more professionally and confidently. When floods and demolitions destroyed my salon, CDTD stepped in with support, through business grants, food, and other essentials, which helped me rebuild and start over. I’m deeply grateful for this empowerment and the hope it has restored in our community.

I came to TAGS after years of hardship, dropping out of school to care for my siblings, living with abuse, and eventually running away from home in search of safety. At the shelter, I found stability, counseling, and the chance to return to school. TAGS supported me through high school and now as I pursue a Diploma in Perioperative Theatre Technology. They helped me heal, regain my confidence, and believe that my dreams are valid. TAGS has transformed my life, turning what once felt like despair into hope and purpose.

Before joining CDTD, many of us didn’t know our rights or have the skills to work with confidence. Through the Homecare Management training, I gained valuable skills in homecare, caregiving, and financial literacy. The partnership between CDTD and DPAK SACCO has transformed our lives, teaching us to save, plan, and grow our small businesses. It even helped me rebuild my shop after a fire. CDTD has given us dignity, stability, and hope for a better future.

I came to TAGS at a time when my life felt unbearable, I had lost my mother, was supporting my siblings, and had just discovered I was pregnant after being abused. I was scared, exhausted, and alone. At TAGS, I found safety, love, and the support I needed to heal. The counseling, guidance, and encouragement I received gave me the strength to believe in myself again. Today, I am pursuing a Certificate in Hospitality, building a future for myself and my son, and learning that my past does not define my life. TAGS gave me hope, restored my confidence, and showed me that even in the darkest moments, there is a path to light and purpose.

The training I received from CDTD has transformed my life and career. Through the Homecare Management course, I gained valuable skills in housekeeping, caregiving, and childcare, as well as knowledge of my rights as a domestic worker. These skills have helped me work with confidence and professionalism. As a hub leader and mother mentor, I now use what I’ve learned to empower other women. CDTD’s programs have uplifted us and restored dignity to domestic work.
