The FSDC was set up in 1999 and is now ready to expand its links with other
non-governmental organizations and the pool of candidates/youth who form its
clientele.
The vision of FSDC is to increase the current scope of the centre by running
courses, which would meet the needs of these youth. The main avenue for youths
to break out of the poverty trap is to increase their employment prospects by
providing them with skills to embark on a trade for income generation.
The FSDC also seeks to address some social problems of the youth in addressing
the low self-esteem evident in some students when they first arrive at the
center. Some of them are products of circumstances of real poverty, broken homes who have not had exposure to life outside their immediate
environment. At the FSDC, they will be encouraged to form relationships, learn
the techniques of coping with stress and prepare to compete for success in the
world.
We cater for
women, homemakers and those who could not be absorbed into the formal education
and employment sectors due to situations beyond their control, our course is
structured towards practical skills to enable everyone to earn an income for
sustainability.
