Vocational skill training in Avrankou

Since its inception in 2002, more than 2’000 persons have accessed the services of the St. Camille mental health center of Avrankou.

The Foundation is engaged in supporting vocational skill training programs and provides financial assistance to micro projects designed to create and develop new work opportunities of social and professional inclusion for individuals affected by mental disabilities thus facilitating their reintegration in the community of origin.

The Foundation keeps track records of former patients who successfully completed their social reintegration process through professional activities in the field of weaving, sewing and tailoring, animal breeding and bakery.
