Zielsetzung

The Global Grant is used for a Scholarship for students to go to vocational training during the duration of three years and for the financing of teachers / coaches for the education and vocational training for the same period. This new projects gives students the possibility to learn a profession and be independent thereafter (and earn a decent income to support their families). 



The goal is to build up this vocational training, in order that other kids, when finishing primary and secondary school, can later also go into this vocational training and learn a profession. In the future, even more students can benefit from this program, and hence learn a professional (indirectly also their families and kids will benefit). It is a successful and sustainable way of development aid.
