ORGANISATION BACKGROUND AND LOCAL CONTEXT

CESA — Auxiliadora Socioprofessional Training Centre is a vocational training centre located in Viana (Angola). It is owned by the Salesia-nas Sisters, one of Rosto Solidário’s partners in Angola. This Centre promotes literacy classes and vocational training to local residents, particularly women and young people. Viana is a poor, peri-urban municipality of Luanda (Angola’s capital city). In this area unemploy-ment rates are high and most households rely on informal market activities, characterized by uncertain small businesses and casual work.
