Carpentry: vocational training for youths
Various Sponsors
Issue - Lack of education and skills means that there are many youths who have basic education but no skills, which leaves them poor, discontented and vulnerable to being recruited by the Taliban who offer youths money to join their forces.
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.

Life Skills: Vocational Training for rural women
Sponsored by Planet Wheeler
Issue - Because the basic literacy, numeracy and health projects have been so successful, village women are very enthusiastic about continuing to learn and to receive vocational training.
Vocational Training Activities - Sewing, dressmaking, tailoring and embroidery tuition is given to these women so that they can sew for their family and make articles for sale.
Each village class lasts for 6 months and 20 women participate in each class. Each participant is given a sewing machine upon graduation to further learning, practice and career prospects.

Life Skills: Literacy, Numeracy and Health education for rural women
Funded by Cabrini Health and Planet Wheeler Foundation
Issue - Poor health, little knowledge about basic hygiene or nutrition, high illiteracy contribute to extremely high maternal and infant mortality in Afghanistan.
Very few women in rural villages, such as Qalai-e-Pahlawan and Qalai Sofian, have received any formal education. They are therefore unable to communicate well with their children, who are receiving education. There is also very little hope of any occupation or means of income.
Activities - 20 women from several villages in Qarabagh district are trained in basic literacy, numeracy, health and hygiene for 4 hours a day, 5 days a week over a 6 month period.
This is followed by a 6 month Vocational Training Course to provide comprehensive Life Skills Training.
