At Ontherock Empowerment Foundation, we believe that skills are the tools for transformation. Our Vocational Training initiative partners with accredited vocational centers to equip individuals—especially women and youth—with practical, in-demand skills like tailoring, hairstyling, carpentry, catering, and more. This program is designed to foster self-reliance, economic freedom, and lifelong income opportunities. By learning a trade, beneficiaries are empowered to not only earn but to teach and inspire others, creating a ripple effect of sustainable development in their communities.
Great ideas deserve a chance to grow. Through our Entrepreneurship Development Program, we nurture emerging entrepreneurs with the knowledge, tools, and financial support they need to launch and scale their own businesses. From business training workshops and one-on-one mentorship to access to seed funding, we bridge the gap between potential and performance. Our goal is to build a generation of change-makers who will create jobs, solve problems, and drive innovation in underserved communities.
Our foundation believes that real empowerment begins with access to knowledge, opportunity, and dignity. Whether we’re equipping young people with vocational skills, advocating for gender equity, supporting small businesses, or extending relief in times of crisis—Ontherock Empowerment Foundation stands firm in its mission to uplift, inspire, and transform.

"Before I joined the vocational training program by Ontherock Empowerment Foundation, I had no skill, no income, and no confidence in myself. Today, I run my own tailoring business and even train two young girls in my neighborhood. This foundation didn’t just teach me how to sew—it gave me a new life. I will forever be grateful for the hope and dignity they restored in me."
Used to be ashamed and scared every time my period came. Sometimes I stayed away from school for days. But after attending the menstrual hygiene workshop by Ontherock Empowerment Foundation, I now understand my body better. I received sanitary pads and learned how to take care of myself with confidence. Now I feel proud to be a girl, and I don’t miss school anymore!
When our community health center was abandoned, many people suffered in silence. Ontherock Empowerment Foundation took the bold step to renovate the facility and provide medical outreach. Today, our people can get basic healthcare without traveling far. This foundation has brought light and hope back to our community. We are truly grateful.
"I lost my father when I was 12, and my mother could barely afford to feed us, let alone pay my school fees. Ontherock Empowerment Foundation came into my life like angels. They provided my school uniform, books, and even a scholarship that helped me finish secondary school. Today, I’m in my first year at the university studying to become a teacher. Their help changed my story forever."
