Donations build training programs

A recent donation allowed for the beginning of the first project for a motorcycle maintenance shop and an expansion of the sewing project.

The motorcycle maintenance outlet is a 10 acre site where oil can be changed, tires repaired, and basic maintenance items stocked for sale. Young men will be trained up on tires, oil, spark plugs and other maintenance tasks for the many 150cc bikes on the roads. Once trained they will be ready for employment in other shops.

New sewing machines were purchased for the tailoring program, giving more women the skill levels needed to make uniforms and other clothing on order. Improved skills will make the project more self-sustaining, and the students will be able to start their own tailoring businesses.

The next phase is to construct two small retail spaces on the roadside, next to the motorcycle repair outlet. One will house a small shop for the tailoring project, and the other will be where articles of clothing can be marketed and clothes repaired.

These are steps toward the ultimate goal to have programs that can both train students and provide services and income to the community. Future plans for the vocational school are to build up the tailoring class further and then begin working on the motorcycle servicing training class that will become a profitable roadside business where young people can be trained.
