At the foot of the Rwenzori Mountains near the border with the D.R. Congo, the necessary infrastructure for quality vocational training is not available.
For many years, the region was marked by rebel attacks from nearby Congo. Schools were destroyed during the wars, and the development of a central infrastructure was hindered.
Many young people would like to do vocational and craft training as workers with craft training, show good potential to find employment or become self-employed.
The vocational secondary school “Holy Dove” already offers training in different practical trades in this region. Schöck-Familien-Stiftung supported the expansion of four additional training workshops in the fields of electrical engineering, hairdressing, tailoring and wood technology, as these professions could previously only be taught outdoors with inadequate equipment.
