Strengthen abilities
The education and integration program for children who are older than 16
year is called Life and Work Skills Training (LAWST). It is the attempt
to strengthen the self-help ability of handicapped teenager and young
adult, long-term and lasting by a manual and academic training. We have
three classes with 45 youth in that program.
Subjects are different manual crafts like working with cloth (sewing,
dyeing, printing and knitting), wood and metal work, gardening and food
preparation. The training in daily life skills like how to use public
transport, personal hygiene and the value of money are included.

Rehabilitation
Many of our young girls and boys develop during that time a good personal
habit and self confidence.
The aim is rehabilitation in the family. For about three years the
trainee and a respective family member will get training in a field of
income generating like food preparation and selling, opening small shops,
preparing and selling ice or poultry.
During that time a close contact and visiting program between our center
and the family home is taking place. That is to get to know the
circumstances the trainees lives in and to discus about the
rehabilitation business. After the course every trainee get fund to start
her/his own small business with the help of the family at home.
