Buildher is a nonprofit social enterprise and workforce development partner transforming Kenya’s construction industry by training low-income women and supporting them to launch successful careers in the construction finishes trades. Our 12-month program combines technical training, wellness, professional development, job placement, and career access support—equipping women with the skills, tools, and networks needed to access dignified, sustainable work. To date, we’ve trained over 700 women, with 80% securing income-generating roles. We provide a reliable pipeline of certified, work-ready tradeswomen and operate an alumnae-led furniture business that produces high-quality, custom residential and commercial pieces. We also link clients and employers to certified fundis for painting, tiling, and carpentry & joinery services. We welcome partnerships with organizations seeking skilled labor solutions, social impact collaboration, or durable, well-crafted furniture and finishes for homes, offices, and development projects.
