Issue - Lack of education and skills means that there are very many youths who have basic education but no skills, which leaves them poor, discontented and vulnerable to being recruited by the Taliban who offer money to join them.
Activities - 2 qualified carpenters who have returned from Pakistan have agreed to train these youths, with a workshop being set up in the grounds of the Learning Centre in Kabul. This course takes 9 months and the first course was completed in March 2009.
