Skills Training for Youth

We provide free and subsidized training to vulnerable youth, including school dropouts and unemployed young people. Our practical programs include:
- Tractor operation and tractor mechanics
- Motor vehicle mechanics
- Welding and metal fabrication
- Professional driving lessons
- Entrepreneurship and business skills

Our trainees learn by doing. We mentor them to start their own garages or find decent employment.

Tractor & Motor Garage Services

We run a social enterprise garage that repairs and maintains tractors, cars, trucks, and motorcycles. We also fabricate trailers and farm implements.
All income from our garage services goes directly back into training more youth and supporting our community programs.

Supporting Farmers

We help smallholder farmers access affordable mechanization. Through our garage and digital platforms like Hello Tractor, we link farmers to tractor services for ploughing, planting, and transport.

Community Empowerment

Beyond skills, we run outreach programs that promote self-reliance, food security, and youth employment. We partner with local leaders, government, and NGOs to expand opportunities for rural communities.

Our Core Values

Skills for Self-Reliance

We believe real empowerment comes from practical skills that put money in people’s hands. We train by doing.

Dignity Through Work

We respect every youth and farmer we serve. Work gives purpose, and we help create it.

Integrity & Stewardship

As a non-profit, every coin earned from our garage is reinvested into our mission. We are accountable to our community and partners.

Innovation for Farmers

We use tools like Hello Tractor and local fabrication to make mechanization affordable and accessible for smallholders.

Community First

We exist for public benefit. Our success is measured by jobs created, garages opened by trainees, and acres ploughed for farmers.

Inclusion

We prioritize school dropouts, unemployed youth, and women who are often left behind. Lubanga Twero means “unity is strength” — we rise together.
