OUR MISSION IN ACTION
Founded to move youth from training to income.
Jacinta, a 24 year old, who graduated in 2025 is now employed at a salon where she earns about 8$ – 10$ per day. Her journey highlights how skills training can create income opportunities, independence, and a pathway out of vulnerability.
Lindtech Educational and Empowerment Foundation (L.E.E.F) was founded in 2024 in response to the growing challenge of youth unemployment in Eastlands, Kayole slums and surrounding communities. In this area, many young people aged 18–35 remain unemployed and unable to meet their basic needs, despite their strong willingness to learn, work, and build better futures. The core challenge is not lack of potential, but limited access to technical training, certification, startup tools, and the support systems required to transition into income-generating opportunities. This prolonged idleness has also contributed to wider social challenges, including increased crime, drug and substance abuse, commercial sex work, teenage pregnancies, and rising HIV/AIDS infections.
Lindtech Foundation exists to change this reality.

Meet Saidd Berry, a 24-year-old whose life changed with a barbering course sponsorship and a $230 business start-up grant. Today, he runs his own barber shop, earning $10–$12 a day, and is proudly sustaining himself. A true example of how support and opportunity can transform a life.
In 2023, We rescued youth and women living in extreme poverty, surviving by collecting plastics, and are now equipping them with vocational skills to build a sustainable future.
Meet Katole Mwange, a 62-year-old grandmother who faced extreme poverty—living in a tent, eating only one meal a day, and caring for her three grandchildren after losing her daughter. Through our support, we rescued her by providing a safe and decent place to stay, and we are now working to empower her for a brighter, more secure future.
