Traning programme

Name

Home economics

Justification

The objective of Twese Hamwe to support unschooled young people, has persuaded us to offer them the much needed professional training. We already had the opportunity to talk about the reading, writing and sewing lessons.
 
After an 8 year experience in the field, we have come to conclude that to teach reading and writing in the centre, also encourages young people’s inquisitiveness and desire to learn a profession.  Even a  young man (26 year) has started in 2006.

The socio-cultural centre Twese Hamwe wishes to start a Home Economics course in 2007(??).
There is an important need for well trained staff for local hotels, restaurants, snack bars and families especially in view of the National Program for the Promotion of Tourism in Rwanda.

Beneficiaries

Year I of the training (12 months in total) will consist of 2 teams of 20 young people each:

This arrangement allows children who survive by doing small daily jobs, to learn a skill.
