Aman Tech is a state-of-the-art vocational training institute designed to transform the youth of Pakistan into productive members of society by teaching them both vocational and soft skills and aligning them to the needs of the local and international labor market.
Furthering Aman Tech’s vision to transform lives by providing the youth with skill and employment opportunities, a project was launched in July 2017 for people with disabilities. The aim of this inititative is to impart Vocational Training to learners including people with disabilities (hearing, speech and intellectually disabled). This is an attempt at ensuring that these individuals become self-reliant and useful members of society who can earn a respectful living. The first batch commenced in July 2017 and the second batch is expected to commence in February 2018. The training is focused on Auto Body and Paint for vehicles and combines both theoretical and demonstrative classes.
A batch of 16 students was inducted from NOWPDP and Special Olympics Pakistan. Of this batch, 4 students from NOWPDP have been successfully placed into jobs. This project is a step forward towards empowering and creating a positive change in the lives of people with disabilities in Pakistan.
It is due to donors as yourself, that we have been able to transform the lives of 10,236 underprivileged youth of Pakistan. Through vocational and soft skills training, Aman Foundation hopes to build a sustainable future for the youth of Karachi thereby significantly improving their quality and standard of living.
