As part of its mission, VOH is trying to create sustainable livelihood opportunities for rural youth in Himachal. In this initiative VOH is providing training to artisans and youth in making Bamboo and Pine based handicrafts. We also plan to setup SHG groups of artisans so as to ensure continued interest of people trained by us and linking the skills imparted by us to income generating activities for our participants.
To support our training programs we have setup a Design – cum – Training center in Rajol, near Kangra airport. The project is being supported by few like minded individuals and we hope to train close to 20 artisans in the next 2 – 3 months.
We are looking for a Community Mobilizer to help us motivate youngsters who are either unemployed or school dropouts to join our training program. Our preference is towards training women and the physically challenged. The work involves working in rural areas of Dharamshala, Rait and Nagrota block.
VOH will provide a certificate of appreciation and an honorarium for people associated with this project. To be part of this program send us a mail at volunteer@vohnetwork.org or call and speak to Varun at 98055 10111.
