For many young women in Kenya, the gap between finishing high school and finding a stable career can feel like an impossible canyon to cross. High tuition fees and safety concerns often make parents hesitate. If you are searching for a place where a young woman can gain professional, government-recognized skills in a safe and highly affordable environment, Kimlea Girls Technical Training Centre in Limuru is built for exactly this mission.


Since 1989, Kimlea has proven that world-class training doesn't have to be out of reach.


The Kimlea Difference: Why Girls-Only Training Matters

Kimlea was founded by Kianda Foundation specifically to create a sanctuary of learning for young women.

  • A Focused Environment: On our campus, students develop immense confidence and leadership skills without distraction.

  • Holistic Formation: We don't just train hands; we form hearts. Our curriculum includes character development and professional ethics.

  • Safe & Accessible: Situated in the calm highlands of Riara Ridge, Kimlea offers a secure environment that parents trust.


Affordability: Our Commitment to Scholarships

At Kimlea, we believe that talent and determination should never be sidelined by financial hardship. Because we understand the economic realities of our community, we frequently award internal scholarships to ensure that deserving young women can complete their education.


When Partners Step In

While we provide consistent support from our own resources, we are also grateful when corporate and institutional partners step in to sponsor specific students.

  • NCBA Bank: NCBA has previously partnered with us to offer scholarships, recognizing the potential within our students and helping them cross the finish line into professional employment.


Programs That Lead to Real Jobs

Our Dual Training System is a core pillar of our approach. By integrating classroom instruction with structured, supervised industry-based training, students gain hands-on experience alongside theoretical knowledge.
