In recent years VTCT has supported SHAIR, an innovative project to train disadvantaged young people in Nairobi in Hairdressing. The Revlon Professional East Africa Academy teaches VTCT qualifications to young adults up to the equivalent of NVQ Level 2 in Hairdressing in the first year, and following 9 months of practical salon experience, the opportunity to progress to the equivalent of NVQ Level 3 on a day release basis.

The trustees of SHAIR are now extending the same model to a range of towns in East Africa, and in addition other similar projects have applied for VTCT charitable funding.

Our centres can help by donating just £2 a week. Download this PDF Shair-2-Appeal  or visit www.shairtrust.com for more information.
