Chawama Youth Project and Skills Training centre has since its registration in 2001 trained over 300 people in different fields that include carpentry and joinery, tailoring and design, welding and metal fabrication, auto mechanics, house wiring and power electrical among others.
The Skills Training Centre has not relented but has become ambitious in exploring new Information Communication Technologies (ICTs). It recently put in place an ICT centre that would enable youths and other clients from the local community to access the Internet and other computer-based secretarial services easily.
The youth project has become so popular not only to the youth but to all people in the local community and even to people that come from places 15 kilometers away to access the services it provides.
