Skill Development

Job oriented skill development, communication and interview preparation for youth

Goal: Raise $6000 for 2024; $55 per student; 200 beneficiaries

 Job oriented skills are important for youth living in slums. They also require training in lack soft skills such as effective communication, spoken English and computer skills  in order to compete with others.
 

FFEC USA is raising funds to conduct 3 month courses that will train them in retail management, Tally software for accounting beside spoken English, preparation for interviews and basic computer skills in partnership with Tarraqui i Foundation (TiF) and so that these young boys and girls have the confidence to navigate the world beyond their environment confidently and secure jobs.

Please donate and change the the lives of these young students!

Education

Every child deserves a good education. Kadam Learning Center was established in 2016 after

conducting a survey and focus groups in Ambedkar Camp, a jhuggi(slum) in Trilokpuri for children in
class 5-12. Most of the children are first generation learners. Although most go to a public school, their
level of learning is much below the grade they are in.

Key features of this program are:

  • 4 batches of 15-20 students Monday-Friday.
  • Tutoring with focus on improving Maths and reading skills.
  • Assistance with homework and exam preparations.
  • Inculcate critical thinking, interest in learning through storytelling and discussions.
  • Creative activities.
  • Basic computer skills.
  • Outdoor activities

Packages

– $150 – After-school and creative learning for 10 kids/month
$1800 – After-school and creative learning for 1 kid/year
$3000 – Life skills and career counseling workshops for 1 year

Women and Child Center

The first 1000 days of a child are critical for its mental and physical development. We are planning to partner with Heights and Minds, a non-profit organization based in Netherlands to setup a center for mothers and babies to ensure every child reaches its full potential by monitoring their growth in the first 1000 days and educating and training mothers. 

 

The key highlights are: 

 

  • Register and monitor height and weight of a child at least 10 times in the first 1,000 days using HMF’s Service Highway Digital Platform.
  • Setup a café run by youth with healthy food options
  • Raise awareness among parents about their child’s growth, measuring growth
  • Provide counselling focusing on behavior change in feeding practices and local solutions to provide a diverse adequate diet within the family’s means
  • Educate mothers about healthy eating for themselves and the entire family as well as parenting and early stimulation skills in a fun way using digital materials, videos, and games and encourage active participation and sharing amongst peers
  • Educate mothers and adolescent girls about anaemia, its impact and good diet
  • Income generating activities for long term sustainability, such as craft, producing and growing foods and selling healthy meals. 

Packages

$240 – 1 baby / 1 year

Skill Development Center

 

Over the years we realized many of these first generation learners coming from poor and marginalized communities are unaware of different colleges, technical courses or career options. They lack confidence and no one to guide them. They are unable to take advantage of the different opportunities available. To address this gap we plan to establish a Skill Development Center that provides the following training:

  • Basic computer skills
  • Web design and video making
  • Communication skills with a focus on  Spoken English
  • Academic and career counseling
  • Workshops on topics such as gender equality, responsible citizenship, sustainability, climate change, mental health

Packages

 

$5000 – Run center for 6 month

$10000 –  Run center for 1 yr

$20000 – Setup/center
