The Community of Saint Paul continues to promote job training for young people in Ethiopia
Throughout 2018 the "Kidist Mariam" center in Meki, Ethiopia has continued to offer cooking, sewing and hairdressing courses. Most of the students are young people who for various reasons could not finish their studies, or who have returned to Ethiopia after working in Arab countries. A total of 444 students have attended the courses this year: 88 in cooking, 131 in sewing and 225 in hairdressing. We are very happy to report that of these 444, 231 are already working in restaurants, or as hairdressers, or in industrial sewing plants or in sewing and hairdressing cooperatives created with other students.
It is a satisfaction to see that so many graduates from the center are finding work opportunities. Their experience encourages the center's team to continue training more young people professionally.
