EDUCATION

Project title: Disability Support

Partnered with Edulink Project, Partner Athénée Action Humanitaire

Care Career Connection (CCC) runs a programme which aims to provide support and training in local communities. CCC specializes in helping the intellectually challenged and disabled through the teaching and academic support within the home of personal development and independent-living skills.

The focus is to give each participant the opportunity to gain skills to seek a job in a field which they are passionate about. CCC encourages greater acceptance and understanding within the community and workplace for people with disabilities.

Through fundraising by Athénéé Action Humanitaire NGO, the CCC management team, educational staff, and ‘Sheltered Skills Workshops’ wherein beneficiaries can learn skills in permaculture gardening, arts & crafts activities, and Woodwork have been funded.

The CCC vegetable garden not only feeds the staff and students but also produces enough produce to sell.

CWBR has supplied a fully equipped training kitchen, where CCC will teach cooking, safety, and nutritional skills. In addition, two more containers have been installed, offering an office space and additional classroom for arts & crafts.
