Youth vocational skills

The formal education in Uganda   was first initiated by voluntary missionary organizations during the colonial period around the 1880s. The British  colonial government got involved in formal education was after the Phelps-Stokes Fund report in 1922. The missionaries introduced formal education in Uganda to win souls as much as to cultivate the minds of Ugandans much as their home governments designed our formal education to produce job seekers than job creators. This remained the norm even in post independence period from 1962 up to the present giving rise to many out of school youth and graduates of the formal education unemployed in Uganda in general  and Lyantonde district in particular.The unemployed youth have become desperate thus turning to irresponsible behaviour like prostitution , drug abuse , robberies/thefts and alcoholism .URUDO-Uganda through the out of school vocational skills projects has restored hope to the unemployed hopeless out of school youth through hands on in various vocations such as tailoring, carpentry, welding and metal fabrication, computer practice and application, motor vehicle/motor cycle mechanics and salon practice with support from Gered Gereedschap in Netherlands for vocational skills project and SES Experts Germany for volunteers.The  out of school youth have been trained in various trades and have acquired irreplaceable necessary skills for self employment and employment in the informal sector within their communities thus earning a living and improving on their livelihoods thanks to URUDO-Uganda.
