ONE SMART COOKIE

Naomi, graduated from High School last year and has recently moved out of the Joy Village. With the assistance of the mamas at the Joy Village and the Tree of Lives team she applied and was accepted to a hospitality and baking program at Kimlea Girls Technical Training Center. This institution offers technical courses that impart professional skills on its students. More than 20,000 women have benefited from Kimlea's programs.

Naomi's day starts very early at 4:30am with a long ride to school and she doesn’t get home until after 8pm. She is loving the program and the new friends that she has met and is looking forward to finding a fulfilling job once she graduates!
