PDC places a strong emphasis on empowering the youth, recognizing their vital role in fostering sustainable development and peace within their communities. The organization is dedicated to providing young people with the skills, opportunities, and leadership training necessary for them to become active, engaged contributors to society.
PDC’s youth empowerment programs focus on equipping young individuals with the practical skills required to succeed in the workforce. These include vocational training in areas such as carpentry, tailoring, and small-scale business management. By offering these training programs, PDC helps youth gain the expertise they need to secure employment or launch their own businesses, thereby contributing to local economies and enhancing their own livelihoods.
In addition to vocational skills, PDC also prioritizes leadership development. Through programs aimed at building advocacy and leadership skills, young people are encouraged to take on active roles within their communities. These initiatives ensure that the youth are not only prepared to enter the workforce but also empowered to advocate for positive change within their environments.
By promoting civic engagement and social responsibility, PDC fosters a generation of youth who are equipped to influence societal development positively. These programs also address youth-specific issues such as trauma recovery in conflict zones, mental health, and social inclusion, ensuring that young people are given a platform to thrive, regardless of their background or challenges.
Ultimately, PDC’s youth empowerment efforts aim to create a dynamic and resilient generation of leaders who can contribute to the long-term development, peace, and prosperity of Somalia.
