AN EMPOWERMENT CENTER was established September 26th when Life In Jesus through donations from Iris Homes and International financing Inc, bought Land at Buziga on a hill in Kampala Uganda. The cost of Land was Uganda Shillings 66 million of which 44 had been paid. The balance is already in arrangements to be paid by the donor, Iris Homes and International Financing Inc. An acre in a good location four miles from the City Center, is to have a three storey and basement building that will comprise of educative departments to train, educate and empower disadvantaged children, children with AIDS and or those whose parents died with Knowledge so they can self sustain themselves to be able to work and have descent jobs.

NURSE AID SKILL TRAINING:
Nurse Aid assistants do work along Certified Nurses to fulfil the requests and desires of Patients and Doctors. Nurse Aids normally will work in Adult care facilities, Hospitals, Clinics, Cottages and “live in” private facilities.
It is a fulfilling sense of responsibility if done well and according to guidelines set up by the Health care Programs as governed by Governments and governing agencies. We do follow the American Education System of Training and Certification. We work hand in with Institutions and accrediting agencies in countries we operate in so as for our trainees to benefit from their respective home areas. We do have 51 Classroom hours and 24 clinical hours to match the Texas Nurse Aid training as our base. With some other coordinates in Thailand and the USA, our best students can be given further opportunities to get further training in Nurse Aid Areas and R.H.P (Recirculatory Haemapofusion Treatment Training).

COMPUTER TRAINING:Computer Training is one growing education sect in African countries. ICT as it is called is a requirement for most students however in some areas the would be starter courses in High School are taught at a University level hence leaving many trainees behind at the advanced level of training.
And so we chose to concentrate on Skills more than any other oratory structure of training, giving students lots of information and training in the shortest period as deemed by the schedules and sessions available. We do train students in Computer Basics (Microsoft Office, Oracle, Internet and Publishing), Network Administration, systems security, Html, XTML, Java Scripting and Coding and Web and Graphic Designs.

COSMETOLOGY AND AROMATHERAPY:
Beauty and Hair Design has been a fascination for many young women and few men. In the Fashion World, you will find that many young men and women have tried modelling during their high school or younger years.
For self esteem, many young women build repertoire through activities they find comfortable performing.
And so we chose to offer this class that requires little or no academic background to help those that have missed school, been dropped due to poor grades and or to those that have a desire to be just that:
Training is offered in Braiding, Palming, Skin care, Make up artistry and Aromatherapy.

TAYLORING AND FASHION DESIGN:
This class is taught by Fashion Designers and marketing done by Models whose works span for two decades. Students start from weaving, then they learn design and drawing concepts and thereafter learn to cut and sewing. After all is done, the Marketing trainer bring in the most precious part of modelling and selling of the made products.
With many products being marketed by Models, many students turn into models in their respective order.

RADIO BROADCASTING AND AUDIO PRODUCTION:
A Radio Station and Audio Recording Studio is another venture we have exposed to students whose desire is to intern and as well gain hands on experience. Located on the Top floor of our Empowerment Centers, Students enjoy the experience of educating others on air and recording programs that benefit the Youth, Babies and Adults as well.
The radio Station is also a tool to transmit messages to the public. Lijif.Org Radio and Eager o’ Nelson Productions Studios work hand in hand to produce music and audio files that educate the mass. Talented Students can have a chance if picked to have their music produced and marketed for free as long as it is deemed educative.

TELEVISION STATION:
On the same Top floor, a Television Station has been designed and is waiting a License to operate. Equipment has been purchased and its core existence is to offer educational programs as well. Only difference is that they are visual. While scripting producing, broadcasting students can be party of the crew as they master skills hands on. We will take only students whose courses match our programs from respective training institutions.

CAREER COUNSELING:
Trainees in our organization in several of the mentioned training categories do work in some of our facilities however efforts are made by the counselling department to help those that graduate to create good resumes and as well contact our affiliates to have them hired. We do not guarantee work but we do our level best to give them directions for a reasonable period of time. We work with Employers listed in our data base to solicit for jobs, arrange Job fairs and internships.

SCHOOL TIME AND SESSIONS AND FEES:
Due to financial, marital and health issues in areas we serve in, we did choose to have three sessions for most of the trainings we do. We do want every understanding age, able husband, pregnant mother or a working orphan find their time schedule to learn a skill they desire and so lives can change: example of our schedules in a training program is line up below. Each program does have its requirements and tutoring fees. For little or no fees you can participate in these programs. Those allowed to study for free MUST qualify under our “i help a child” program. The fees asked for is for running the premises and supporting tutors and Volunteers otherwise it is little or no money.
