  The number of uneducated youths and women in Northern Uganda, Lira District is alarming. In fact, 18% of children between the ages of 6-15 do not attend school.* At New Generation for Change, a Christian community-based organization located in the Lira District, we believe vocational training is essential to help lift at-risk youth and single women out of poverty and give them hope for the future. That is why we are planning to open a free vocational training center. The population we serve is especially deserving - they include orphans, street kids, children from child-headed families, children from poor families, youths and single mothers. But we need donors like you to help turn our vision into a reality. The training center will offer skills-based training to include: • Tailoring (clothes sewing) • Shoe making • Craft bags making • Cosmetics and soap making • Carpentry and joinery

• Volunteers: 25 needed

• 6-10 hours per week / 4 weeks

  No big requirements, only fundraising skills.
