Transforming Lives: The Impact of Rural Training Centres in the Solomon Islands

Over 80% of Solomon Islanders do not complete secondary school, often due to distance and costs. Rural Training Centres (RTCs) offer essential vocational training in fields like carpentry, mechanics, agriculture, and cooking, providing accessible education for young people. The Don Bosco Technical Institute and other RTCs are critical resources for those in remote areas. However, many centres, such as the one at Vanga Point, require funding for new equipment. Your support can empower these students with the tools they need to succeed. Learn more at www.caritaschallenge.org.nz.

Presentation Transcript

  1. Rural Training Centres Changing Lives

  2. About 80% of Solomon Islanders don’t complete secondary school. They may live a large distance away from the nearest school making transport costs too expensive, or they may not be able to afford the fees.

  3. Rural training centres (RTCs) provide training in areas such as carpentry, electrical repairs, mechanics, agriculture, animal-rearing, cooking and sewing.

  4. Don Bosco technical institute

  5. For young Solomon Islanders, the RTCs are the most accessible and affordable means of technical and vocational training.

  6. Many of the rural training centres need help with funds to purchase new equipment and tools. This centre at Vanga Point has a new workshop for teaching carpentry but no equipment.

  7. This is a functioning carpentry workshop at the Don Bosco RTC in Tetere.

  8. This is an outdoor classroom at St Dominic’s Rural Training Centre at Vanga Point. It is attached to a piggery.

  9. Rose Tam is one of two female students in her mechanics course at St Peter’s Rural Training Centre in Gizo.

  10. Young women are usually encouraged to enrol in courses in life skills, including cooking and sewing.

  11. You can help Caritas to help the students at the rural training centres.
