Prospects of employment for youth living with disabilities in Uganda who have failed to attain a high level of formal education are tremendously limited. Youth unemployment stands at 62% and 70% of the population is under the age of 30.

Young People Living with Disabilities who have not gained a qualification in formal education are therefore in a tremendously vulnerable position of being unable to provide for themselves as they enter early adulthood. This can result in social challenges and force young People Living with Disabilities into risky behaviour in order to provide for themselves.

How Rena Community Development Association is supporting youth empowerment

- Through our vocational training centre, Rena Community Development Association aims to equip largely vulnerable adolescents living with disabilities (school drop outs, poverty stricken, young mothers, HIV infected) with practical skills in:

Hairdressing

Tailoring

Catering

I.T

Carpentry

Construction

 

In order to gain formal employment in Wakiso District, Uganda.

- Through the creation of a business hub "RCDA Hub" vocational students are get the opportunity to enhance practicability of learnt skills by serving the public on a daily basis.

This improves on the economic status of the youths living with disabilities through earning a daily wage and is also a sustainability strategy for the project and organisation.
