n cooperation with the Association PARTENAIRES, the GSRD Foundation supports vocational training in the Maer Achol shelter in Dhaka Bangladesh.
The objective of the program is to enable children to learn how to work conscientiously in a professional manner. The program provides vocational training in the fields of tailoring and cooking.
The hand-made items which are made in the tailoring classes are sold in Bangladesh or in France at Solidarity Fairs. This enables the children to have some pocket money. The products made during the cooking class are sent to the local supermarkets and restaurants which have a contract with Maer Achol. This provides the students with some of the resources they need to start their adult lives.
