VOCATIONAL

This project will provide valuable vocational skills training to 800 selected out-of-school adolescents to greatly improve the chance for employment or self-employment for these young men and women.

Project Needs and Beneficiaries

Rural poverty is being addressed through training and education. Many poor Ugandan teens drop out of school and so do not finish their high school education. This project not only helps some return to school but provides micro-finance training and vocational training to those interested.

Activities

Vocational training programs will be conducted in Carpentry, Welding, Candel making, Soap making, Brick making and Sewing in order to prepare these students for employment or self-employment.

Potential Long Term Impact

This project has a target of training 800 young men and women to increase their incomes and better provide for their families. With additional funding we could increase the number of people trained.
