Vocational Training for Youth

Brobo is a town in the Brobo sub-prefecture with about 4,000 residents. The population there has been increasing rapidly because of the high birth rate and the influx of refugees from strife-ridden neighbouring countries. Unemployment is a serious problem, and the youth go to cities searching for a job, or stay idle in their village.
In 1995, vocational training courses in carpentry, weaving, sewing and hairdressing for 35 trainees were established and this training center was renovated during the school break in 1996. We are continuing to support this program providing training materials, instructors' salaries and Japanese technical support of the program. We are also expanding the facilities so that we can train at least 100 students each year.
