In 2018, Toolkit received an Innovation Grant from Habitat for Humanity. The award acknowledged and recognized TTI’s contribution to youth skills for Kenya’s construction sector. TTI applied the Award funds to development of Online Training and Deployment (OTaD) Portal. OTaD included an e-Learning Management System (LMS) and that’s how Toolkit’s training with technology - Jielimishe was born.

Jielimishe is the primary platform for Toolkit’s online youth skills training. Jielimishe interacts and links with our partner platforms.
