SUPPORTING ENTREPRENEURSHIP

With our dream in mind – a thriving manufacturing sector – we help entrepreneurial craftsmen in the Jinja region. Our support varies: it ranges from supplying individual craftsmen with the necessary tools to establishing comprehensive workshops in collaboration with local partners, offering all the essential components.

STRENGTHENING VOCATIONAL EDUCATION

In recent years, Gered Gereedschap has worked together with the Nile Vocational Institute to improve the quality of technical education and to stimulate guidance towards work. By investing in tools and machinery and training teachers, we have worked to improve the quality of education so that graduates have the knowledge and skills to succeed in the local labor market, either in paid employment , or as an independent entrepreneur. At the same time, we have worked to stimulate entrepreneurship by creating internships and offering toolkits for starting young professionals.
