The project mainly aims to develop knowledge and skills of 900 citizens of the communal section of Ravine Trompette of the Pilate commune, in order to enable them to read, write and execute calculations, and thus to participate more in community activities. Most of the beneficiaries are small business owners and community bank members; literacy empowers them to better manage their businesses and to maximize their involvement in community banks. Participants also get training in human rights, environment and health. To achieve this objective, the project provides 75 teachers with training in education, group management, environment, health, and human rights. It also establishes a consortium of three local organizations (Oeuvre Esca Dieudonné, the Ravine Trompette parish and the Pilate parish), which is responsible for managing and ensuring long-term project sustainability. Consortium members are trained in management, governance and results-monitoring. This is one of two parts of a project valued at $147,164. The first part has been completed.
