These courses will positively impact not just the individuals in these communities who receive the training but also their families, friends and the communities in which they live. 3. Promotion of relief of poverty. By teaching skills and techniques which will enable individuals to identify and make use of their own competencies and skills and create the self- belief necessary to achieve things in life.
