The Vocational Training Centre (VTC) is operated by the Organisation for the Promotion of Afghan Women’s Capabilities (OPAWC) in one of the poorest areas of Kabul. It has been funded by SAWA-Australia (SA) Inc since its inception in 2008.
The VTC has continued to offer vocational and literacy classes to hundreds of Afghan women and girls who, for many reasons, had been denied access to formal education.
The overall investment in this project is based on the understanding that such classes empower women and girls to gain formal education and skills to earn an income.
