The training is designed by U.S. Embassy partner Women

The two-year project will help beneficiaries expand their
economic opportunities by helping them identify agricultural resources,
markets, and technologies that can increase their incomes.
The project is funded by the U.S. Secretary of State’s

The second project, called “Children of War,” aims to
transform 40 youth from conflict-affected areas into peace agents in their own
communities.
The innovative project will provide technical education and
