Dormitory equipment project at the Catholic Mission’s Vocational
Training Center for Youth and Women in Touroua.
The Center for the professional formation of Youth and Women in Sainte Monique parish, Touroua, was created in 2001. It is a vocational establishment. Touroua is located in the North Region of Cameroon, close to the border with Nigeria.
The Center offers training to young people and women in various fields: sewing, animal husbandry, agriculture, catering, dyeing and decoration. Training lasts three years. The number of learners is 40 for the 2024-2025 academic year. A Daughter of the Holy Spirit is responsible for and involved in the training of the learners.
Within this center, there is a kind of boarding school (dormitories) that accommodates several girls from remote villages. 32 learners are housed here in unsuitable conditions, as the premises lack sleeping facilities. The girls sleep on mats. The Daughters of the Holy Spirit, always keen to improve the living conditions of vulnerable people, would like to help by providing them with much-needed beds.
Objectives:
– To provide material assistance (wooden beds) for students at the Center.
Needs expressed:
– 32 single wooden beds 2,300 €
– 32 single mattresses 1,220 €
– Transport of beds and mattresses 80 €
Total project cost 3,600 €
