Frans Dimbare, Rural youth skill training center
Frans Dimbare rural Youth Skills Training Center is a vocational training center in Kavango East in the village of Diyogha. The center is under the Ministry of Youth, National Service, Sports and Culture and has been providing services directly to youth in rural Kavango since its establishment in 1997. Through vocational training and other programs, the youth of the region are empowered to realize themselves and find employment.
Our project was asked by those responsible at the Frans Dimbare Center whether we could support students in the practical implementation of what they had learned.
2025
We provide Sebastian, an unemployed carpenter, with a room so that he can carry out his carpentry work in a protected environment. The machines we have received as donations make his work much easier. Sebastian is always in a good mood and involves interested young people in his daily work and work processes as much as possible.
Students training in construction are helping to build guest rooms for staff at the nearby hospital. They make the bricks themselves and use them as soon as they are dry.
Qualified bricklayers work hand in hand with the students and pass on valuable experience to the young people.
At the beginning of the summer, we were delighted to expand our collaboration with the Frans Dimbare Institute.
Our own agricultural knowledge was insufficient and yields were low. Since June, horticulture and agriculture students have been coming to us to put their theoretical knowledge into practice under the expert guidance of their teacher Kosmas. We are responsible for transportation and meals and make a contribution to the institute.
2024
The collaboration currently consists of practical training in welding technology. Since the end of 2024, 4 students have been completing their internship with us on the project.
Together with Mr. Malasa, the students make bedsteads, tables, shelves, grave borders and carry out repair jobs in the area. The internship is greatly appreciated by the young people and offers them an opportunity to escape poverty and unemployment through their own efforts.
Project news are continuously updated.
