Invitation to Tender for Vocational Training of SOS/BMZ Quality Care Project Beneficiaries: (Deadline 17 April 2021)

TENDER ANNOUNCEMENT

Introduction

SOS Children’s Villages Rwanda has received a fund from BMZ Germany and Herman Gmeiner Fund (HGFD) to implement a 3.5 year-project whose intervention areas are Kamonyi, Bugesera, and Kicukiro districts. The project target group is 300 families/caregivers and 1,200 children. It started with July 2020 and is expected to close with December 2023.

The project will intervene to solve the problem of many young people who have no access to vocational training due to the school fees, which are not affordable for many families. Young people lack not only vocational training but also entrepreneurial skills, access to micro-credit, and capital for income-generating activities. This causes juvenile delinquency, which additionally affects the stability of families, as well as migration to urban areas Kigali, which aggravates the social problems there.

In this regard, the project has planned in its interventions the training for youth in different fields as a way of promoting employability to the youth and improving family income as well.

Participants:

The vocational training will be delivered to 60 youths (20 from Kamonyi, 20 from Bugesera, and 20 from Kicukiro); in particular, teenage mothers, underage caregivers and single women (under 50 years of age) will be enabled to earn an income with skilled work and improve the income of their households.

Trades required

This must strictly be done in accordance with government’s instructions to avoid the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
