can learn to provide for themselves.
Global Peace Foundation, World Concern’s work in poor communities strives to
influence long-term change. Teaching people marketable job skills helps lift
them and their families out of poverty for good, changing the direction of
generations to come.
In all of our work, Global Peace Foundation target the poorest and most
vulnerable people. Global Peace Foundation place a special emphasis on women in our vocational
training programs, who are treated unequally and also are expected to support
their families. Global Peace Foundation also help children in areas where trafficking is a danger.
However, men and women of all ages have the opportunity to learn a skill
through our programs.
Global Peace Foundation ,vocational training programs are carefully matched with
the needs of the community where we work to ensure students and participants
are able to use their skills and get a job after completion. In South Sudan, for example, people rely on motorbikes for
transportation, but many of them sit broken and abandoned. World Concern opened
a vocational training center to teach young men mechanical skills so they can
repair motorcycles for income, and at the same time, meet a vital
need in the community.
In the same community, people were not able to afford new
clothes because they were all imported. The vocational school offers classes in
sewing and tailoring so women can make clothing, earning an income and
providing affordable clothing to the people who live there
