Challenge

Baru is located in an area of great touristic potential, but is one of the poorest sectors of Cartagena, with the highest levels of poverty and unemployment. Most of its inhabitants carry on occupations empirically, without any training. There is a major tourist development planned for the Island that will generate many job opportunities, so it is very important to qualify the workforce so that they can have formal jobs. Going to the Training School is very expensive because of the distance.

Solution

The project will provide transportation to the Students interested in attending the Training and Entrepreneurship School the Foundation with other organizations are building in Santa Ana, the nearest town to Baru, in which they will be trained in various skills related to tourism and construction. This way, they will have access to a big range of job opportunities.

Long-Term Impact

The project will allow students from Baru town to attend to the Baru Island Training and Entrepreneurship School, to be trained in different skills such as Cuisine and Table & Bar. This way, they will qualify to many job opportunities related to tourism and construction and they will have access to formal jobs to increase their incomes and therefore their and their families quality of life.
