Many people do not have access to equipped facilities to receive training in valuable trades and skills. These people are often deprived of various learning and income-earning opportunities that could improve their social status and living conditions. The project will help people develop their livelihoods through education and skills education.
The low level of literacy in Nyamwamba division is a serious impediment for the area's development. 57% of the area's populations are illiterate and most of them live in rural areas. The mountainous terrain further compounds the challenge to source learning materials to the most remote areas.
