2. 1. PROJECT BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
1.1 PARISH PROFILE
Holy Trinity Kariobangi Catholic Parish is one of the Parishes within the Archdiocese of Nairobi
(ADN). The vision of ADN is “to be a witness of love reflecting the Church of Christ where all
are dignified”. The mission of ADN is “to fulfil the mission of Christ through evangelization of
the whole person”.
Like the ADN, Kariobangi Parish is highly involved in development work. This is mainly in
alleviation of human suffering, enhancing social justice and general peace building. The Parish
endeavours to educate the Parishioners and general community on their dignity, rights and duties to
themselves and their country.
Kariobangi Parish has jurisdiction over the area covering Huruma, Kariobangi and Korogocho
Locations. For the ease of administration, the parish is divided into four zones, namely, St.
Martin’s-Ngei, Huruma, Central (Kariobangi) and St. John’s-Korogocho. Besides the main Church,
there are two outstations – St. Martin’s-Ngei and St. John’s-Korogocho. The Parish is run by the
Comboni Missionaries.
A large proportion of the area falls within informal settlements. In total, the Parish has over
500,000 residents with a fairly high density of 8 or more persons per household who are usually
dependent upon one breadwinner. Most households live in single rooms measuring less than 10
square feet.
1.2. CURRENT SITUATION OF UNEMPLOYMENT
The core problem identified in various stakeholders meetings with the youth and local leaders is
“over 4,000 young people in Holy Trinity Kariobangi are unemployed”. This has led so many
young people getting them involved in crime, alcoholism, drug abuse and other forms of anti-social
activities. As a result, people in the community are living in fear of insecurity and violence.
Majority of the perpetrators of crime and violence in the area are youth. Among the key reasons for
this is unemployment. Indeed, in a recent youth forum, the youth prioritized unemployment and
drug abuse as the most pressing issues in the community. The youth start getting into these vices
while still young. Cases of “children” as young as 13 years being involved in armed car-jacking
have been reported.
Numerous causes of unemployment have been identified. They include, but not limited to:
• Corruption
• Lack of employment opportunities in the local and national economy
• General household poverty
• Discrimination against the youth
• Diseases, such as HIV/AIDS
• Drug abuse and addiction
• Family break-ups and neglect of parental responsibility
• Lack of vocational skills and inadequate facilities for the same
• Lack of and / or low education levels
2

3. 1.3. PROBLEM IDENTIFICATION AND ANALYSIS
Holy Trinity Kariobangi has always been concerned with the well being of the young people. The
Church has thus used every available opportunity to propagate against unemployment as well as to
gather information on possible interventions. In so doing, the Church has also sought to understand
the root causes and effects of the problem and its other dynamics as fully as possible.
The Church has initiated and hosted more than ten stakeholder forums to discuss the causes of the
problem, effects and possible interventions to reduce the same. The stakeholders who participated
in these forums include: -
• Youth and youth leaders
• Local administration (Chiefs and village elders)
• Security personnel (Heads of police posts in the area)
• School leaders and teachers
• Environmental conservation groups
• Religious leaders from different religious and denominations
• Leaders from Kariobangi Catholic Church
The identification and analysis of the problem was also informed by cases and incidents of
unemployed youth seeking the help of the priests and other pastoral leaders in the church.
Additional insights have been received through staff serving in various parish projects.
A lot of other useful information came in from various church ministries, groups, Small Christian
Communities and individual Christians.
Using data gathered using the above approaches; stakeholders summarized the most significant
impediments to sustainable lawful employment for the youth in Holy Trinity Kariobangi to be:
1) Lack of vocational skills by the youth
2) The youth lack enough motivation and drive for self employment
3) Lack of programs in Holy Trinity Kariobangi area with the capacity to create incomes for
large numbers of young people
4) Inadequate support to youth income generating initiatives.
1.4. WHAT HAS BEEN DONE BY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
Kariobangi Catholic Church has been in the forefront in implementing various projects that reduce
the impact of poverty. Some of the key interventions are highlighted below.
Peace Building Project
The peace-building project focuses on improving the living standards of Kariobangi people through
developmental activities: -
Targeted groups have improved peace through development
Through this project the parish has been able to establish 6 peace clubs in primary schools. They are
intended to introduce young school children to the culture of peace at an early age. Due to
budgetary constraints the parish is not able to reach out to the children in the other 46 primary
schools in the area.
The project has also managed to address some aspects of insecurity and crimes. This has been
achieved through providing regular forum where stakeholders dialogue on crime and insecurity and
how to combat the same. In addition, the project has provided seminars and workshops in peace
building and conflict transformation skills for the youth.
Whereas some impact has been achieved with a number of youth previously in crime giving up the
vice, the parish is constrained financially. For instance, the parish does not have adequate financial
3

4. resources to help the youth groups acquire essential tools/equipment such as pull karts, rakes,
wheelbarrows and over-alls etc.
More financing is also needed to implement programs to enhance their capacity to manage income-
generating ventures efficiently and effectively (and thus profitably). They also need to improve
their working sites as well as start new environmental management and income generating projects.
1.5. PROJECT PARTICIPANTS AND STAKEHOLDERS
The direct participants of the project will be 100 youth groups from both inside and outside the
church. The direct beneficiaries of the project will be 4000 (100 youth groups, each with an average
membership of 30- 40) from both inside and outside the church. Parents will also be highly
involved in the project as a way of enlisting community ownership.

organization in 2010.

preserving their culture as young people, they not only employ themselves but also educate the
society by focusing on the issues that affect their day-to-day social lives as conflict resolution,

enhanced use of art in Peace-building. Nyota’s mission is to sensitize the youth and the society in
general on the cultural heritage of Kenya and Africa in order to create a platform for all, for
learning through art. The aim of the group is to ‘end crime’ through entertainment, as an income
generating activity. They as well promote Christian love, peace and unity.
Challenges faced by the youth groups
• Lack of vocation skills trainings
• Lack of alternatives out of crime.
• Unemployment

Dear Sir/Madam,

21. We are pleased to present this letter requesting membership and
participation in INISE project. These groups represent many groups
in Kariobangi. Our activities are included in the Youth
empowerment proposal. Together with the Holy Trinity -Kariobangi
Parish, we shall implement the project in a participative manner.
Many youth and women groups in Kariobangi are unemployed and
seeking help. Besides, the number of unemployment youth continues
to swell day by day.
We are seeking to arrest the situation of unemployment by
empowering the youth and women through employment creation. The
project will benefit approximately 4,000 youths and women
directly. These will reduce the level of unemployment to many
people.
We look forward to everlasting partnership, membership and
participation with your esteemed institution.
Thanks and may God bless you,
Yours Faithfully,
Jacinta Wanjiku Ng’ang’a –0722317802
