Empowering Communities Through Skill Development

Building Sustainable Livelihoods

Our traditional skills school is a cornerstone of community empowerment, offering courses in basketry, permaculture, painting, thatching, and pottery. These skills are not only cultural treasures but also vital tools for creating sustainable livelihoods. By equipping individuals with these skills, we help reduce youth migration and foster economic growth within Buipe. Each skill taught is a step towards self-sufficiency, enabling community members to generate income, support their families, and contribute to the local economy. Our approach ensures that traditional knowledge is preserved while adapting to modern needs, creating a harmonious balance that benefits both people and the planet.

Through hands-on training and community engagement, we aim to inspire a new generation of artisans and environmental stewards. Our programs are designed to be inclusive, offering opportunities for all ages to learn and grow. By investing in these skills, we are investing in the future of our community, ensuring that our cultural heritage continues to thrive and evolve.
