vocational training for the karamajong – soroti uganda

Here’s a change of direction after spending a few days in remote northern Uganda. Part of the EU Peacebuilding Program is geared towards providing access to alternative livelihoods besides farming and pastorism in drought conditions. This vocational school in Soroti includes students who come from Karamoja.

Carpentry, building construction, welding and driving education were all taught there, among other things.

It being a hands-on school, I definitely made a point to get some images of hands at work. Otherwise, it was a pretty quick in-and-out – I was happy with what I got in the short time I was there.
