Ngong Hills - We drive you to a developing area in the west of Nairobi. Then you visit the Women’s Empowerment Centre, a program to help struggling mothers undertake skills training so they can open small businesses. Not so long ago these women had very little hope and many have suffered discrimination and been ostracized by their families and were forced into homelessness.
But with the support of One Horizon, and the travellers who visit them, the centre helps them get back on their feet by providing rent-free housing and vocational training, as well as lifestyle skills that focus on building confidence and rejuvenating body and soul. They become independent as small business owners and crucially, are able to feed, financially support, and keep their families together. The women’s inspirational stories will teach you about family life in Kenya, the practice of marrying multiple spouses, the dynamics of being a single parent, and the relationship between Kenyan mothers and their children.

Empowering Mothers is a distinguished tour featured in the Magical Kenya Signature Experience Collection. This collection offers unparalleled, authentic, and extraordinary Kenyan travel experiences, approved by the Kenya Tourist Board (KTB).
This engaging one-day tour organized by One Horizon provides you with the opportunity to spend time with inspiring Kenyan single mothers, who, through hard work and determination, are liberating themselves from the constraints of poverty and working towards creating a secure future for their families. The tour will take you to a lifestyle and vocational training center for women located on the fringes of Nairobi. Here, you will witness a flurry of activities as the women engage in sewing, candle making, jewelry beading, and honing their entrepreneurial skills to launch their own small businesses. As you establish personal connections with these women, they will open up about their lives, offering you profound insights into Kenyan customs, traditions, and kinship dynamics.
