In the Kamonyi district, SEVOTA’s three-year project strengthens the economic independence of young people through targeted promotion of entrepreneurial and technical skills. The focus is on modern agriculture, crafts and basic business management skills. Young people should be offered prospects for a stable income, professionalise their products and improve access to markets.
The project combines technical training, peace education and conflict management with the provision of start-up capital and the promotion of access to financial institutions. In three years, 27 youth clubs will work with SEVOTA – a total of 1,026 young people will benefit. They acquire practical skills in hairdressing, construction, bakery, welding, tailoring and embroidery as well as knowledge in business management, marketing and cooperative formation. After the first year, the number of participants will be increased annually to achieve a growing impact.
