Triple R Integrated Training Solutions (TRITS) Limited was developed and created by three colleagues with vast experience of rural development and capacity building. Over the years we have come to understand the true definition of learning as one where Learning comes as a result of ones experience. That is the fundamental basis of our facilitation concepts. TRITS is a workforce and development facilitating consortium specialized in Creating Productivity and efficiency for the rural development. We walk every participant through our facilitation on one to one basis while they implement an experience conducive to the highest level of learning
The demand for basic services, including education, financial and business development skills is high and very few people can access these services within target rural regions. Practical and competencies based learning and strategies will ensure a journey towards participatory development in our counties. Learning is a right, a human need, and a life-long continuous process.
It’s for this reason that TRITS plan to purchase land and to put up resource center with physical focus of rural development learning in order to enhance viable and sustainable projects based on innovativeness.
