Over 50 percent of the Tanzanian population are children and young people under the age of 18. The majority of them grow up in poverty. Their educational opportunities and career prospects are limited and their chances of leading an independent life are slim. The situation of many women is particularly problematic. Girls have to help in the household and in the fields from an early age. Only a few girls are able to complete secondary school. People with disabilities are also usually excluded from education and social participation. Sometimes they are hidden away by their families. There is a lack of suitable support. Mission 21's two partner organizations are committed to the education of young people, including young people with disabilities. In vocational training centers in Kyela, Chunya, Isongole, Rungwe, Namtumbu, Songea, Ilindi and in the city of Mbeya, young people can complete vocational training. In addition to job-specific skills, they are also trained in life skills, violence and HIV prevention. Particularly vulnerable groups (e.g. young women, orphans or young people with disabilities) receive support in the form of scholarships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Overall Objectives:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The skills of particularly vulnerable youth are strengthened so that they can independently secure their livelihoods, lead independent lives with dignity, and actively contribute to society and the local economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Subgoals: <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Young people, including orphans, as well as women and their families from the Mbeya region. Each year, the projects reach around 750 young people in vocational schools, including 40 trainees with disabilities. The target group also includes 45 teachers at the training centers and training seminars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
