Vocational training provides the knowledge and experience to be industrious and skilled. Family Care courses presently provide hundreds of teenagers and young adults with tutoring and hands-on experience in the vocation of their choice. Most of our training courses run fulltime, five days per week, with other courses scheduled after school hours, collaborating with scholastic education to give the less-privileged an easier start in life.

Our students include women from rural communities, less-advantaged teenagers from all walks of life, and the handicapped: deaf and dumb, the blind, etc. The majority of the courses take place in already established institutions and centers. Skilled volunteers and tutors who impart their knowledge to a dedicated and determined audience teach the classes.

Many graduates from the Family Care vocational courses have gone on to open their own small businesses or have pursued additional studies in the subject, some at university level. We have many success stories from amongst our former students and as some graduate and new students take their place, we will see many more examples of lives being permanently changed for the better.
