About the Cause
Posted by BF0482 in Burkina Faso on 04/03/2025
This project aims to create a vocational school to teach sewing, welding, mechanics, carpentry (wood and aluminum), and masonry. The goal is to provide technical and practical training to young people, particularly those from disadvantaged backgrounds, to offer them sustainable career opportunities and prepare them to enter the job market or start their own businesses. The school will include equipped workshops, qualified teachers, and programs tailored to local needs. This project will help reduce unemployment, improve living conditions, and promote the economic empowerment of beneficiaries and their families in the Karaba community.

How the church will sustain the cause
1- Generate Self-Sufficient Income The center can become partially self-funded by: -Selling Products: The sewing, carpentry, and welding workshops could produce items (clothing, furniture, tools) sold locally or in nearby markets. -Offering Paid Services: The center could offer repair, construction, or tailoring services to the community, thus generating recurring income. -Organizing Paid Training: Advanced or specialized training modules could be offered at affordable rates, while maintaining free or subsidized training for the most disadvantaged. 2-Rigorous Monitoring and Evaluation To ensure sustainability, the Church should: - Monitor Performance: Regularly evaluate the center's impact and adjust strategies to maximize effectiveness. - Involve Beneficiaries: Learners and the community should be consulted to identify needs and improve services.
