Join us in supporting the next generation of creative entrepreneurs and making a lasting impact on the future of Africa.



Welcome to the FCA Creative Industries Programme website
Welcome to Finn Church Aid’s Creative Industries program! Our mission is to empower youths in disadvantaged communities with the skills they need to succeed in the creative industries.
We understand that access to formal education and entrepreneurship training can be severely limited in many developing countries, leaving talented individuals without the support they need to commercialize their creative skills.
That’s why we’ve created a unique vocational learning program that provides skill training in often-overlooked creative industries, along with entrepreneurship and work-life skills training.

Help us help marginalized youth land creative jobs of the future.
Innovation and creativity will shape the future of our economy, and the potential for growth is limitless. But without the right training and resources, our talented youth will never reach their full potential. We’re on a mission to change that. With our Creative Industries Program, we’re empowering the next generation of creatives to harness their talent and make a lasting impact on the world. Join us in our mission to cultivate creativity and bring a new wave of innovation to Africa. Together, we can unlock the potential of our youth and build a brighter future for all.

Testimonials
I have learned persistence. There is never perfection and that all that one needs to grow a tough skin in the entrepreneurial world, we need be resilient and tireless, starting over and over again until you get it right.

Yes, my perspective on work life has really changed because am now well armed especially with the soft skills that almost every employer is looking for. I have re-discovered myself, and in case I choose employment I am able to position myself better for the so many open opportunities in the job market that I would do before.

I wish I would have found you sooner. You have helped me break through my plateau and have challenged me to be better. Thank you for helping me get the most out of the limited time I have at the class.

Previously before I joined FCA to learn animation I had no idea on what I wanted to do. All the career choices out there were just not impressive for me. However, at the moment I’m very eager to join animators out there and do what I have come to love doing which is 3d animation so yes I do see new employment opportunities for myself in the creative industry.
I was comfortable throughout the whole training thanks to the trainers. It has been so easy to interact and ask them questions. The dedication they’ve put when teaching us these courses seem to come from the bottom of their hearts and for that may GOD bless them all. I’d recommend them to anyone any day. THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH.

Wow! my biggest learning lessons during my time here are:
1. Teamwork - I really struggled to work in teams but this is long gone.
2. Collaboration - I was a lone ranger, killing myself by trying to do everything.
3. My digital literacy has really grown am now a friend of social media and the digital world.
4. Animation: This is a dream come true, for many years I looked forward to do this and now I can do a project from A to Z without much struggle. This was my first and biggest objective for enrolling in this program.
5. Network - my net worth is much higher now, interacted and made friends with industry players.
6. Humility - I am surprised I had to let go what I came knowing to learn the same things and more afresh.
