Adults Vocational Training
In Ethiopia many households are affected by poverty and unemployment. Like most underdeveloped countries, women bore the most burden of taking care of the family, especially those who are the heads of their households, are often among the poorest of the poor in Ethiopia. Women have few opportunities to earn income and are often discriminated against in the workforce and even within the family/household.
As part of its integrated support strategy for our children and their parents/guardians, SCCMA provides vocational education and training skills development programs for mothers that will enable them to get a job and earn a living to improve their livelihoods. SCCMA vocational training also provide self-employment at their homes, generate a daily income which enable them to buy necessary medicines, and save their children with a real meaningful life, and a secured life to them.
Such vocational and skills training includes cooking and sewing classes for women.
Empower women through sewing training program
In sewing classes women are given an exciting opportunity and taught to sew. This not only improves the sewing skills but also their chance to find a job and earn a living. SCCMA helps with a small amount of money and proper tools that can help these women start a small business and help them survive on a monthly basis.
Empower women through cooking training program
As prat of our cooking class, we provide high-quality cooking and food preparation skills for a number of underprivileged women from poorest communities in Addis Ababa. These deprived women are good at raising their children but have not had a formal training or education support, due to poverty and other responsibilities in the family. With our cooking classes parents/women benefit immensely from SCCMA holistic approach to vocational training & comprehensive support that provides bright future for all.
Thanks to our volunteers from different parts of the world, these women have also been thought to design different types clothing by some of the world-renowned designers from Millan Italy and chefs that cooks the best foods in world. Such support builds capacity of women that better matches the needs on the labor market in Ethiopia’s growing textile/clothing and hospitality industries.
