Skills Training

In developing countries, the acquisition of work skills can make a major difference in an individual’s ability to combat poverty. The JELA Foundation teams with its partners in Brazil and India to support skills training programs in cooking, sewing, carpentry, hairdressing and basic keyboarding. Such programs not only teach youth valuable skills, but also help keep them off the troubled streets of slum areas.
