CEFARH was founded by a group of Ugandan medical students, to be a voice for the voiceless and the oppressed. Initially it aimed at young people affected by HIV/AIDS, teenage pregnancies and child marriages. Its activities and scope broadened during the years and is now also active in vocational training, improving the population’s overall quality of life.
The project will support vocational training for 350, of which 110 are orphans. They will receive training in car maintenance, welding, carpentry, tailoring and hairdressing. For the delivery of the necessary machines and tools by the Betuwe Worldwide Foundation for these training courses € 7,580 is needed.
Project information
The situation
Most of the youths in Northern Uganda are not absorbed in the formal employment sector because they lack the required academic credentials. Vocational skills programs are the better alternative for young people to find an occupation. Vocational training provides the young people with avenues for self-reliance resulting from economic empowerment upon completion of the training.
The importance of the project
The implementing organisation
Since 2010, more than 4,000 people have followed a training course from CEFARH. The board of CEFARH consists of young people and 70% of them are women.
The envisaged project results
After the training, the graduate is expected to become a model youth and transfer skills to others. Start-up toolkits are provided during the graduation phase to help them transfer practical training skills and knowledge to others.
Upon successful completion, the project is estimated to reach 350 direct beneficiaries and a multiple of indirect beneficiaries.
Project costs
For the delivery by the Betuwe Worldwide Foundation of the necessary machines and tools (for vocational training and starter toolkits), € 7,580 is needed.
