Increasing the educational and professional opportunities of young women-modernization of vocational schools in Senegal

Increasing the educational and professional opportunities of young women-modernization of vocational schools in Senegal
Implementing entity: The Good Factory Foundation Amount od co-finansing: PLN 654,525

 

The Good Factory Foundation project was addressed to young women aged 17-26 who studied at vocational schools in Dakar and Joal. Improving the quality of education and setting up conditions for professional activation of women is one of the main directions of support provided as part of development aid for Senegal.

A series of vocational courses held dur­ing the project allowed students to ac­quire newskills offeringthem an oppor­tunity that would positively affect their prompt entry into the labour market. Activities in the project also included the modernisation of a tailor shop, ren­ovation of buildings and purchase of 14 sewing machines. Childcare and cooking courses were also organized in schools. In order to improve the daily function­ing of schools, a car was purchased, as previously no means of transport were available.

The training was attended by girls from villages and poor quarters of Dakar and Joal, including daughters of economic migrants from Guinea-Bissau. Specialist training and modernisation of training centre equipment extended the pros­pects for social and economic develop­ment of women, the local community and economic migrants. The project will be continued in 2020
