A5.   TRAINING INITIATIVES
(Project Task! 2K01E)

NEW HOPE FOR THE POOR (N’HOPO). Have identified a range of training packages that the organisation will be looking to deliver.  We see training as the key to the development of the skills people will need to build on for their nation and themselves.  N’hopo will endeavour to educate people. Disability in any child does not mean the end of the person’s productive life. 

The training programmes will be extensive, covering subject and concentrating on skills development, relevant to the needs of the rural areas and provinces, creating in the process employment and small industries quite capable of sustaining the economic needs of each village as well as the country as a whole.  Training is very much the key, therefore 50% of all resources will be aimed at training and employment creation.

Plans for a disabled skill centre in the Eshowe / Nkandla and Umkomaas areas are underway.

N’hopo will work towards the setting up of manufacturing unit to provide sheltered employment to disabled people, giving them the opportunity of an alternative way of earning a living.

The centre will teach skill basic of Electronics, Drama, Music, Singing and workshop etc.  Other such as computers and an electronics library resource centre for the local community. N’hopo estimates between 6 and 10 million are unemployed in South Africa alone.
