Unemployment and poverty among young people in Uganda often push many into cycles of hardship, hopelessness, and dependency. At AACCEM, we believe that with the right skills, every young person can build a sustainable livelihood, support their families, and contribute positively to their communities.
Our Vocational Training Program equips youth, women, and vulnerable groups with practical, hands-on skills that open doors to employment and entrepreneurship. By combining training with mentorship and spiritual guidance, we empower participants to transform not only their own lives but also their communities.

Why It Matters
Skills training is one of the most effective ways to fight poverty. Instead of dependency, young people gain the confidence, knowledge, and tools to shape their futures. Every trained youth becomes a ripple of change—impacting their family, church, and society at large.
