Support for VECECAB can take many forms. It may help a student remain in training, provide a meal or basic personal items, supply tools for practical lessons or strengthen a community project.
At VECECAB, support is often very practical. Sometimes the greatest need is not a large project, but something simple that makes daily life easier for a student.
School fees, food, clothing, hygiene items and training materials can all make a direct difference. VECECAB works with vulnerable young people who may not have access to all of these essentials.
Our aim is to help students remain in training, learn a useful skill and move towards a more independent future.
VECECAB also responds to urgent needs in the communities around us. These two stories show how practical support can help create safer and more dignified living conditions for vulnerable families.
An 89-year-old grandmother in Kasala is caring for her 15-year-old granddaughter in very difficult living conditions. VECECAB is working toward a safe new home with proper sanitation.

A mother of nine children is raising her family in very difficult circumstances. VECECAB wants to help them move from an unsafe shelter into a secure and dignified home.
Read the family’s storyAfter a school holiday, some students return about two weeks late. Their families rely on the work they do at home to earn an income. By the time they return, they have missed lessons and practical training.
School fees and other costs add to this pressure. VECECAB already covers a significant share of training fees privately. Support from churches, foundations and other partners can help with fees and everyday needs, giving students a better chance to stay in training and complete their courses.
Some students arrive with very few personal belongings. Things that may seem ordinary can be very valuable: something to eat from, something to wash with, clean clothing or simply enough food for the day. These small forms of support can have an immediate and very personal impact.
Churches, foundations, community groups and individuals can help with student fees, food, daily essentials or materials for practical lessons.
