Vocational training

Human Relief Foundation believes that our humanitarian efforts don’t just end at delivering vital aid to impoverished communities. A key aspect of our mission is to ensure sustainable growth and self-reliance in these communities to allow them to create pride and thrive.

Our vocational training schemes are vitally important in helping poor communities, equipping individuals with practical skills that are immediately applicable in local job markets. In communities where access to formal education or higher education is limited, these programs offer an alternative route to employment or entrepreneurial business start-ups. This access to specialised training helps individuals and their communities to become self-sufficient by providing a steady income, which directly lifts them and their families out of poverty. Vocational training also boosts confidence and gives a sense of purpose, reducing reliance on social assistance and fostering personal development.

The long-term benefits of vocational training extend way beyond the individual. There’s a huge positive impact on the broader community. As more people gain employment and financial independence, the overall economic health of the community improves. This stimulates local businesses, encourages entrepreneurship, and reduces crime and unemployment rates, helping break the cycle of poverty and promoting social stability within poor communities.

Business training and start up grants

Human Relief Foundation support individuals looking to set up a micro, small or medium enterprise with start-up skills and grants. In the simplest terms, we give people training and grants to either start or restart businesses. We work closely with local communities to identify where the skills gaps are in a local economy and provide a trained workforce to satisfy those needs.

Our range of training courses give beneficiaries a solid understanding of business essentials and planning,  providing a better chance of sustainable business success.
