A day of learning at a vocational school

In the early 2017, we commenced our support for the vocational school for girls in Dakar, Foyer s. Maria Goretti, ran by Franciscan Missionaries of Mary. The school offers a two-year curriculum for 56 girls and young women aged 17 to 23. They are inhabitants of nearby villages, poor districts of Dakar, daughters of economic migrants from Guinea-Bissau. The Franciscan school offers them a huge opportunity, as the diploma of Foyer makes it practically certain that they will be able to get a job. It is their chance to escape poverty, further emigration (also to Europe), a chance for stability necessary to establish a family…

We helped the sisters renovate the dormitory and classrooms and equip them with proper educational materials. We continuously update the school curriculum — all to ensure that our students gain as much knowledge as possible before setting off into independent life!
