Blog news for APHEDA - http://apheda.wordpress.com/

Union Aid Abroad-APHEDA Technical Advisor, Gail Vest, blogs about Vocational Training opportunities and how donated funds are being used to aid the 'Hair&Beauty for Wedding Outfitting' program across six remote training centres in Cambodia.




Our goal has always been two-fold, to train teachers and develop technical skills in one, resulting in quality Co-operatives in remote communities.

The key skill areas in the hair&beauty program are women's hair cutting, bridal up styling, make-up, nail art and small business management. We concentrate on teaching staff within the centres and trainers transfer skills onto students.

We work in five provinces including some of the poorest districts of the country. Our partners are:
  • Women's Development Centres, Department of Women's Affairs - Preah Vihear
  • Kampot and Thmar Kul- Battambang
  • Cambodian Women for Peace and Development - Kampong Cham
  • Community Education Centre - Mong Russey District, Battambang
  • Department of Women's Affairs - Oddar Meanchey

Importantly, all our training includes life skill components in reproductive health, HIV awareness, hygiene, anti-domestic violence and nutrition training. On completion, our graduates are supported to form small cooperatives with interest free loans, equipment and financial management training.
Our 2014 training agenda includes Colour Application Techniques, Blowdrying Skills and Small Business Management. English Language for Beginners and Mens Cutting are on the agenda for 2015!

រីករាយណាស់បានចុះជួបជាមួយសិស្សដែលបញ្ចប់វគ្គសិក្សាជួយដោយ អាហ្វីដាហើយបានបង្កើតមុខរបរនៅតាមភូមិ។ ជាពិសេស
ក្រុមស្រ្តីវ័យចំណាស់ ដែលមានការតាំងចិត្តខ្ពស់ក្នុងការចងក្រងក្រុមជួយខ្លួនឯង។
