OSAA VTC Introduction:

OSAA VTC (Vocational Training Center) was located in District 2, Darb Qandahar of Herat city and the most important feature of this center was accessibility to the beneficiaries, that can come on time by using public transportation or by walking can be a kind of saving for those families to save their transportation payment.

Vocations:

• Tailoring for female
• Beauty Parlor for female
• Carpet Weaving for female
• Rug Weaving for female
• House Wiring for male
• Mobile Repairing for male
• Handicrafts for female
• Bag making for female
• Literacy classes:

The OSAA program team considered literacy classes for both boys and girls, who were illiterate and were so interested to become literate, we sought and registered the illiterate beneficiaries for the literacy classes, and every day, every beneficiary participated in literacy class for 40 minutes, these classes have more effect on beneficiaries who could not write their name, so at the end of the project, they were able to read and write.

Small Business Training:

We had Small Business Training for all our Vocational Training Classes; every class has one session (90 minutes) of Small Business Training in a week, the result of this training for beneficiaries was when they graduate from vocational, they became familiar with Bazaar, business, customers, companies, products and so on and in the near future they can have an active play in the Bazaar and sell their products and services in the market.

Kindergarten and nursery:

The project was designed to have a kindergarten and nursery for babies and children, some of our beneficiaries in the vocational classes had problems with their babies maybe they don’t have anyone to keep their children at home when they participate in classes and this issue caused them to leave the classes, so we prepared the kindergarten and nursery for them to bring their children and avoid hesitate about them and continue their own vocations.

Finally, the project successfully completed in Herat province in November 2021 and after distributing the vocational toolkits, certificates, monthly transportation fees and holding the graduation ceremony, the project ended..
