OUR
VISION
We strive to create a world where everyone has equal access to opportunities, regardless of background or circumstance.
THE PROBLEM.
For many individuals, job loss and chemical dependency are closely linked, resulting in a harmful cycle of hopelessness and despair. The stress of unemployment can drive people to seek temporary relief through substance abuse, further exacerbating their mental and physical health struggles. Breaking free from this cycle requires a holistic approach encompassing mental health support, job training, and community resources.
OUR SOLUTION.
Our solution is to provide a vibrant, new, beauty school that will give students the opportunity to attend, learn and receive their cosmetology license from an accredited school. The beauty school will be located off Rainier Avenue South in Renton, offering access to underserved communities, and enabling a quick and convenient way to access the schools location. Abyssinia Beauty School will provide vocational training that can serve as a powerful deterrent to chemical addiction by offering individuals a sense of purpose, skill development, and a pathway to stable employment. When people have the opportunity to learn a trade or acquire new skills, they gain a renewed sense of self-worth and confidence.
Moreover, having a trade fosters a sense of belonging within a community of like-minded individuals, creating a support network that helps counter feelings of isolation and despair. By empowering individuals with marketable skills and employment prospects, vocational training provides a positive alternative to chemical dependency, instilling a sense of responsibility and direction in their lives. As they build a stable and fulfilling career, the temptation of addiction is lessened, and they can take pride in their achievements, reinforcing a healthier and more purposeful lifestyle.
