J1136N Young Adults Transition Project Bolivia

The Situation

The youth and young adults of Bolivia today regularly encounter challenges in finding consistent employment as they leave school. Political instability over recent years has caused rising unemployment rates in Bolivia and seen more young adults enter life on the streets or crime due to a lack of education and employment.

This project aims to reduce unemployment rates among young Bolivians in the region of Riberalta, through education and vocational training support.

The Objectives

-         To improve employment opportunities, future stability and life satisfaction for up to 15 young adults in Riberalta over the coming 3 years, through financial support for tertiary education.
