Africa-Press – South-Sudan. Some youth who graduated with vocational skills at Multiservice Training Center in Juba have said they will use the newly acquired skills to support their families and communities.
On Tuesday, the Lutheran World Federation in South Sudan graduated over 50 vulnerable youth in vocational skills to improve their income level.
This is part of the COVID-19 Response Operation being implemented by the Lutheran World Federation in the country with funding from Bread for the World.
With this funding from Bread for the World, the agency three months ago enrolled the 60 out-of-school vulnerable youth in Juba to learn different income-generating skills at Multiservice Training Center in Juba.Made up of 31 females and 29 males, the youth were trained extensively in small engine repairs, carpentry and joinery, hairdressing, and tailoring.
Emmanuel Morri, a 22-year-old senior three dropout, and resident of Gudele Block 8 a suburb of Juba is one of the beneficiaries.
Dropped out in 2020, Morri says he intends to open up his workshop to help put food on the table for himself and his family.
“I was not able to make things of my own but when I joined the training, I am able to do chairs, tables, and other furniture that can help me a lot,” said Emmanuel Morri.
