In a country where opportunities for secondary education are slim, Ugandan youth are especially vulnerable to poverty. Having a marketable skill is invaluable and opens up doors for them to work and make a steady income. FH built a Trade School, but it needs equipment. Having equipment for specialized trades will help make the school a self-sustaining institution and improve the quality of vocational training. The community’s economy will also flourish with job creation and availability of services. Students will graduate as qualified carpenters, professional hairdressers, experienced tailors, proficient office workers or trained mechanics. Read more >
