Monthly report from Zimbabwe

By Joseph Miti - Programme Manager, August 17, 2009 03:12 PM

Children celebrate graduation at a field day in Mutasa District

The attached report highlights the need for Vocational Skills. This project partnership was funded through UNICEF and partners are working to achieve the National Plan of Action for Orphans and Vulnerable Children in Zimbabwe. Unfortunately, the funding originally earmarked for education and training were used for Cholera prevention in 2008. By donating today, you can help children gain the skills needed for a future full of hope and promise.

Survival skills

By Elizabeth Bara - Executive Director, July 15, 2009 10:58 AM

A Graduation ceremony for Out of School Adolescents

In Zimbabwe, where the unemployment rate is nearly 90%, vocational skills and survival skills are synonymous. By giving to this project, you will be helping families do so much more that survive - they will thrive!

These young people are already actively involved in ASAP's rural micro finance project, funded through Catholic Relief Services. This gives them access to the capital required to put their newly acquired vocational skills to work, transforming lives. Providing hope for the future. Please donated today

Out of School Adolescents attend training in internal savings and lending

By Elizabeth Bara - Executive Director, December 11, 2008 02:35 PM

Out of School youth attend rural training sessions in Zimbabwe

To date 1,453 out of school adolescents have attended training in internal savings and lending and school fees have been provided for 904 or these young people. We are asking for your donation to provide hands-on vocational skills training to eager and worthy participants.

This project is part of a three year project partnership between ASAP and Catholic Relief Services in Zimbabwe. During these times of tight budgets, the funding for the vocational skills training portion of this project had to be cut – yet it is such an essential and vital aspect of this project that will provide children in desperate circumstances with hope for the future. Please give youth in Zimbabwe skills that will last a life time by supporting this project.
