Education & Vocational Training

Education & Vocational Training

The main focus of the education sector is to increase access for individuals and communities to opportunities that could lead to employment. Over the past three decades, PRB has been proactive in providing vocational education to both men and women. The organization also endeavors to extend education to underserved areas and returning populations where educational infrastructure is lacking, but local teachers are available. Additionally, recognizing that millions of Afghan adults, both men and women, are illiterate and face challenges in their daily lives such as difficulty in finding employment due to lack of literacy skills. PRB aims to address this significant issue by offering literacy programs for adults either independently or in conjunction with vocational training, especially focusing on women in rural and urban areas.

Vocational Training Programs

The PRB offers vocational training programs that equip community members with practical skills in various trades and professions. These programs may include training in carpentry, tailoring, jewelry, masonry, and other vocational skills that are in demand within the local economy. By providing such training, the organization aims to empower individuals to pursue sustainable livelihoods and gain economic independence.

Basic Education

PRB also focuses on providing basic education opportunities for community members, including children and adults. This may involve establishing literacy courses, basic education classes, and educational support programs for individuals who have limited access to formal schooling. By promoting basic education, the NGO aims to improve literacy rates and provide foundational knowledge that can lead to better economic opportunities and improved quality of life.

By expanding its focus to include vocational training programs, basic education, and capacity building for farmers, the NGO aims to address a wider range of community needs and contribute to the long-term development and resilience of the communities it serves.

PRB provides support for marginalized and vulnerable populations through tailored interventions that address their specific needs. This support encompasses access to education, healthcare, and social services, as well as initiatives that promote gender equality, youth empowerment, and community participation. By prioritizing the inclusion of these populations, the organization ensures that its programs are designed to uplift and empower those who are most at risk.

Furthermore, the PRB is committed to the development of the economic base in target communities to improve living conditions and promote sustainable resource use. This involves implementing projects that enhance agricultural productivity, promote sustainable farming practices, and support the development of local industries. By doing so, PRB contributes to the economic growth of these communities while also promoting environmental conservation and sustainable resource management.

Overall, PRB’s activities in economic empowerment, support for marginalized populations, and community development are aligned with its broader mission to foster sustainable livelihoods, reduce poverty, and promote social inclusion in the target communities.
