Changing Lives

Page 2: Rural Training Centres

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.

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

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.
