God Love Community Training Centre

The major problem is poverty due to the high rate of unemployment due to lack of skills. Most of young people are out of school due to families  lack of income or low income. God love Community Training Centre will empower  young people especially girl and women with Computer skills and hair dressing to prepare them to carrier like computer repair, software office etc... The skills will help them to get jobs or to create their own jobs and have a career.

God Love Community Training Centre aims to aid the existing issue of lack of education with our needy  refugees and local community, youth and young adults are  out of school. Most of them can not afford the cost of post secondary school. God Love Community Training Centre hopes to provide an affordable, and personalized training so that they can become self- sufficient and improve their socio-economic living conditions.   

God Love Community Training Centre will provide with computer skills and internet browse that will help them to find jobs or help them to get information to create their own jobs. This program will be also a learning by doing; hands-on work experiences that will help them easy have a career.

Refugees community are most underserved and often victims of xenophobia in South Africa. 95% of  refugees arrived empty handed in South Africa, without any money to survive and no government program to assist them. They are on their own, they depend on few charity from good individual people. They are often meeting big challenges in seeking  peace of jobs by crashing with needy poor local  community members. Most of refugees are from countries where the information technology still not available to many people in the community. Most of today jobs require knowledge and skills in IT. I'm living with most them and I'm myself one of them.  The solution will address their needs by providing the skills and knowledge to help them to overcome obstacles. 

Our problem, solution and our target population are aligned with the goals of  our solution covers the educational training aspect of our  community, and we are committed to the well being of our youth as they grow through their young adult years. The target populations are the young adults from refugees community who do not pursue post-secondary education.  God Love Community Training  is  education option available to encourage our young people  to get skills they need to reach their full potential and have a career to help them to sustain. 

The pilot is Yeoville refugees community and needy local community members. Refugees are the most disadvantaged community in South Africa, the pilot is now testing  256 Computer Training: A+ Software, office program and  English lesson to new comers young refugees 

My solution provides a new an significant improved  approach to the problem because is providing services to  marginalized (refugees) and low income young  and needy local community members. The solution is the only one in the area that provides services for a very cheaper cost and help the most vulnerable young people to access the skills they need to improve their socio- economic living conditions. The solution has a broader positive impact in this spaces by giving a chance to poor young people to access almost free of charge  very crucial services on a very affordable price.

Currently the Solution is serving 256 from hardware, software and English lesson for new comers refugees. in one  year the Solution will serve 1,240 needy people and in five years will directly serve 9,760 people.
