Creating livelihoods for youth in Timor-Leste

Empreza Diak continued the work with the youth from Ataúro so that they can develop new skills and have a better living in the future and always in perfect harmony with Mother Nature.

In the past months we did capacity trainings for SOLS students about the Do´s and Don’t`s of Agriculture, and showing the right practices when planting. In this regular trainings, students learn the importance of contributing to a greener and eco-friendly world since one of the benefits of growing your own vegetables is to contribute to the reduction of the carbon footprint and plastic usage.

Atauro's team is preparing the Creative Workshops and School Training on Entrepreneurship, so they outlined the plan and meet with the School Director of the Vocational School and the Director of the Secondary School, the purpose of this project is too encourage them to revitalize and rethink creatively in the objects we already have around us and what we can do to give them new use, so students are challenged to create new products through recycled materials with as few resources as possible and open their minds about setting up small business.

Until the end of this year Empreza Diak is launching a campaign to strengthen the work in 2020 to exceed and overcome our objectives with this talented and capable youth of Ataúro.
