As all over the world, the Corona crisis has created a real challenge. Jobortunity had to close on 18 March, for indefinite time. But we did not stop working! Our students are at home and unfortunately for some ‘home’ is not there or unsafe.  Graduates working in the tourism & hospitality industry lost their jobs and thus their income. 

So, we decided to take action and develop Covid-19 Relief Response Projects to support youth in need. The Jobortunity building is now a Support Centre; we established Safe-houses where youth can stay and help others by developing basic-need packages (incl. food & soap); they bake cakes to generate income and cultivate vegetables. We set up a hotline providing up-to-date Covid-19 information, offer help and a listening ear. In addition, we make sure there is sufficient physical exercises and mental support.

We can fight this together!
