Ofafa Vocational Training Centre

Ofafa Vocational Training Centre stands as a pillar of hope and empowerment within the heart of Nairobi’s Eastlands. Deeply rooted in the Ofafa community, the institution is committed to equipping youth and adults with practical, market-relevant skills that lead to employment and self-reliance. Accredited by the Technical and Vocational Education and Training Authority (TVETA), Ofafa VTC offers certified training in trades such as tailoring, electrical installation, catering, beauty therapy, and ICT.
The centre is tailored to meet the needs of a densely populated, low-income community, providing affordable, hands-on education to learners who may otherwise lack access to formal training. With modest infrastructure that includes workshops and practical training areas, the VTC continues to deliver quality instruction despite urban challenges. More than just a training facility, Ofafa VTC plays a critical role in addressing youth unemployment, bridging skills gaps, and contributing to sustainable community development.
