The Training Centre
The Trust started off helping
pre-school and school-aged children. Over time
we realised that these children needed help
as they grew up and left school. The training
Centre was aimed at meeting the needs of post school-aged
children.
The aim is to give these young people
in the Trust an opportunity to learn a skill which
will enable them to earn a living when they leave
school. Unemployment is extremely high in Peru,
even for those that have had the privilege of higher
education, and without practical skills the young
people can end up simply trying to scrape a living
by selling things on the street or in the markets.
In 2001 Manuel found a suitable
site for the centre which they initially rented,
but by the end of the year enough funds had been
raised by the trust to buy the land. A large building
- to house the workshops- was then started and this
was completed in August 2004.
The completed workshops are:
