Our Impact
Training Program
The TVET program was introduced in 2013 when we discovered there
was a lack of skilled human capital in our industry . The TVET
program called “Gahanga Industrial Based Training for footwear
manufacturing” created by UZURI K&Y, intends to offer the capacity
building of young people in Rwanda in order to support and reduce
the unemployment rate among the youth, especially women.
Since 2013, UZURI K&Y partnered with the German
organization Senior Expert Services (SES) to successfully test the
concept of providing training services by an experienced expert
from the shoe making industry ,The program continues to result
into facilitating the transfer of technical skills from
international experts to the youth through introducing new
technologies and has also significantly increased the quality of
shoes sold locally and those exported internationally as well as
fostering the economic growth of the country and made in Rwanda
