This project will build a kitchen large enough to feed 900 children from the neighboring school. The young women at the Hogar San Jose will be empowered by gaining work experience in a safe and caring environement and the San Jose Home will be one step closer to reaching self sufficiency, since it will generate an additional 1200 dollars a month revenue.
Girls and young women that have been taken away from their families due to sexual abuse, violence and abandonment often spend many years in a home. When they turn 18 they must leave the home and survive on their own, and most of the time they go back to their original abusive environement. This project will empower the girls so that they can have other alternatives.
This project will build a kitchen large enough to do the catering to the neighboring school. Some of the consequences of the trauma suffered by girls and young women prior to arriving at a home are that they require more time and a specially caring environement to learn basic skills. By being able to gain work experience in such conditions, our girls will be empowered to attain self sufficiency. The home will also generate an extra 1200 US$/month to be able to help more vulnerable girls.
This project will help more than 50 girls a year grow into educated and emotionally healthy young women with tools, resources and work experience that will enable them to take care of themselves and rise out of poverty and violence.
This project has provided additional documentation in a XLSX file (projdoc.xlsx).
