Education and Skill Training
The Global Development Foundation recognises education and skill development as essential pathways to empowerment, dignity, and sustainable livelihoods. Building on the understanding that learning is a lifelong process, our Education and Skill Training initiatives aim to create accessible, practical, and inclusive opportunities that support individuals in developing the knowledge and abilities needed to participate meaningfully in their communities and the wider economy. These efforts are guided by the principle of capability building, enabling people not only to learn but to apply skills in ways that improve personal well-being and social resilience.
Key Areas of Focus
Vocational & Life-Skills Training
Our approach to vocational and life-skills training emphasises practical learning that is relevant to everyday realities. Programs are designed to support the development of employable skills alongside essential life competencies such as communication, problem-solving, financial awareness, and adaptability. By aligning training with local needs and emerging opportunities, these initiatives help individuals, particularly youth and women, strengthen their capacity for economic independence and informed decision-making.
Workshops for Children, Youth, & Women
Workshops serve as interactive spaces for learning, reflection, and skill-building across different stages of life. For children and youth, sessions focus on foundational skills, creativity, and confidence-building. For women, workshops often integrate skill development with awareness around health, rights, and community participation. These learning spaces encourage shared knowledge, peer support, and active engagement, reinforcing the idea that growth is fostered through collective learning and participation.
Teacher & Health-Worker Training
