Family Life Improvement Program

The “FLIP” (Family Life Improvement Programme) created in 2011 in partnership with We World, an Italian NGO, enables the parents of our children to increase their income and thereby limit child labour and school dropout rates.

Parents (80% of them mothers) are trained over 3 to 6 months in sewing, house cleaning or cooking. They are also being helped to find and keep decent jobs.

Some of our older students who have a hard time following a longer curriculum in our vocational training tracks are also benefiting from FLIP.

AFPSE will support this program with the purchase of $3,200 worth of kitchen equipment.
