INAUGURATION OF A NEW TRAINING CENTER FOR WOMEN IN MEKI (ETHIOPIA)
Due to
the great need for training for young women in Meki (Ethiopia), the Community
of St. Paul has conceived, organized and started the Kidist Mariam Maakel, or “Saint Mary Capacitation Center”. With
this new project we wish to help women who haven’t been able to finish their
education to learn a profession in which they can work in a dignified manner
and become self-sufficient. The center opened on February 1, and currently we
are offering courses in cooking, sewing and painting (each lasting six months).
At the inauguration of the center, the Bishop of Meki, Msgr. Abraham Desta,
blessed the building and all who were present. Then, following the Ethiopian
tradition, we prepared coffee and shared bread with the participants. The first
group of students is comprised of 56 young women from Meki. We hope that they
are able to develop the many talents and potential that they possess, and will
keep you updated with news from the center.
