Serving the ZTO Residents After Graduation

Andrew Obiero, and the Kistone Group, cooperating with The Cotton Company in Wake Forest, N. C. are working together to offer vocational skills and employment opportunities for the children once they reach maturity age and have to leave the orphanage.

Andrew has spent much of his life, upon completion of his formal college education in Canada, working with his family to provide for the many orphans. He chose to return to his native Kenya to fulfill the many wishes of his family and friends providing for the orphans of his native country. He has lead by example.

Presently he and the Kistone Group are working to teach job skills to the students so they can self support upon leaving ZTO. In March, 2008 the first artisian soapstone carved items will be arriving in the U.S. for display at The Cotton Company. 10% of all proceeds will go back to the vocational skills program. The Kistone group will also use some % of proceeds of their sales to train the students in meaningful skills such as soapstone carving, electrician, mechanics etc. so the children can self support.
