Vocational Training
Studying for a future
Prospects for children in institutions or from poor families are
not good. Even if they have completed education, work is scarce. As
part of our work promoting self-sufficiency, MWB runs vocational
training courses for young people - catering, tailoring,
bee-keeping, mechanics and many more.
Dumitru lives in an institution, where he took part in a
shoemaking course: 'This is a good job to have in our country.
When I go home, my mom is always waiting for me to help repair her
or my brother or sister's shoes. Of course, I do it with pleasure
and pride. I am very grateful to MWB for this training, which will
be very important for our future.'
In addition, the budget of the institution he lives in is very
limited. The director says, 'We are unable to replace the
children's worn-out shoes, but at the same time, we can't stop the
children playing and enjoying their free time because of a lack of
shoes.'
The project solves this problem and gives the children valuable
skills for the future at the same time. Dumitru says, 'At
school, I am also happy, along with my fellow students, to help our
schoolmates when they have problems with their shoes. So we are
useful to them and at the same time, we get to practice.'
Other courses supported by MWB include:
- tailoring
- catering
- computer skills
- agriculture
