Empowering Young Women Through Skills
Practical training is opening doors to independence and meaningful work.
Where Catherine’s Education Journey Has Taken Her
At Pestalozzi SkillsHub, young women like Catherine are gaining the skills, confidence, and opportunities to build independent futures.
After completing her bricklaying training in Zambia, Catherine secured employment in a field where women are still underrepresented — proving what becomes possible when young people are given access to practical skills and opportunity.
The encouragement I can give to girls like me is to never look down on yourself.

Through hands-on vocational training, mentorship, and employment partnerships, SkillsHub is helping young people move from education into meaningful work, while challenging barriers that have historically limited opportunities for women.
As the programme continues to grow, more young people are building brighter futures — one skill, one opportunity, and one brick at a time.
