Professional training

Professional formation

A good vocational training can be an efficient way to rehabilitate young adolescents, poorly educated because they early left the school or only had the “street school”. That’s why Volontariat created a carpentry section (Liege) and a binding unit of books and notebooks (Uyarvu).

Liege Section: carpentry

Liege carpentry is running a training centre for young boys, some of whom stopped the school and/or are coming from Souriya centre. The course lasts one or two years and the varied activities enable trainees to achieve quality work that will serve them in a future job search. They will be helped by the social workers to find a carpentry workshop or a local furniture manufacturer. Dozens of boys have benefited from this assistance since the programme began.

Chabou Unit Soap:

Chabou Soap Unit : Aloe vera, neem, spirulina soaps are produced to provide for the needs of Volontariat, but they are also commercialized with success.

Kalai Art :

One artist is employed who is executing all kind of art work ordered by the sections of Volontariat. He also realizes greeting cards with various designs, sometimes embroidered by Atelier Shanti. The products are available on site at Navin or ordered through catalogue by the helping committees in Europe. Uyarvu: training & production

Uyarvu Binding :

With a professional cutting machine and under the supervision of the In-charge of Kalai Art, several apprentices are trained in the binding of books and notebooks. Volontariat is the lone customer of Uyarvu, with a yearly order of 15 to 20,000 notebooks, books, etc., that the Parrainage section distributes to all the children who benefit from the program
