Tansania: Education for prospects
The Wörwag family and the Wörwag Pharma company support humanitarian aid projects of Herrnhuter Missionshilfe (Moravian Church) in Tanzania and Zambia.
Education projects are of particular concern: We support the construction of vocational schools to give young people in structurally weak regions the opportunity to train as tailors, carpenters, electricians, or computer specialists, so they can earn their own living.
These projects create the conditions for combating youth unemployment and provide economic and social support for small village communities, as graduates can start their own businesses with their skills and a basic set of tools.
