Official program
Vocational and life skills training that turns learning into livelihood.
Maanyi helps women, youth, and rural families build practical skills, confidence, financial literacy, and habits that can carry into work, home, and community life.
why it matters
Practical skills change the shape of a household.
A useful skill can become confidence, income, safer choices, and better planning. When training is practical and supported, families gain options that compound over time.
Limited access to practical skills training
Gaps in financial literacy and daily decision-making tools
Few employment pathways for women and youth
Need for confidence, mentorship, and safe learning spaces
the model
Four supports, one skills path.
The program is organized around practical learning and the support structures people need after training: confidence, peers, money discipline, and mentors who keep showing up.
financial confidence
Simple tools for budgeting, saving, record keeping, pricing, and responsible money choices.
vocational skills
Hands-on pathways that prepare women and youth to practice useful skills in local markets and homes.
