Project Overview
Many young people struggle to find employment due to incomplete schooling or financial constraints.
Poverty exacerbates their vulnerability, pushing them toward illegal activities. Atelier Espoir et Avenir was initiated to support the youth in becoming more employable in the hospitality sector and ultimately empowering them and lifting them out of their impoverished communities. Giving them hope and a future Atelier Espoir et Avenir is committed to transforming lives by providing practical
skills, fostering resilience, and creating pathways to a brighter future.
