More than a training centre. A place to belong.
This 💙 is 💚 us!
At our TVET centres, learning doesn’t stop in the workshop. Youth unwind in the play area—next to the play areas, our wellness centres offer a safe space for peer-to-peer support, SRHR services, & psychosocial care.

This is youth empowerment. ✨

Such contrasts and inequality in #Angola. Glad to be able to bridge the gap for #youths.
