There is a lack of jobs and employment is not guaranteed. The rate of unemployment is rising despite the government’s pledge to create more jobs. Formal education is no longer sufficient to guarantee employment in the job market. There is a lack of vocational training centers due to lack of government funding, training opportunities in the non-formal sector need to be enhanced and revitalised to meet current needs.

Training will include practical and technical skills such as I.T. agriculture, shoe making/repair, dressmaking, car mechanic, plumbing, building, painting/decorating etc. In turn it will create opportunities for income generation and employment. This project will see the sponsored children, youth groups, disadvantaged people, orphans being equipped with the academic and vocational skills that are key to income security to them and their families enabling them to become self-sufficient.
