【题目】 Support tech education for street youth in Lebanon
About CodeBrave We train former street youth in digital skills, coding and robotics, helping them to secure jobs that are not only well-paid but future-proof too. We run our programme in a shelter for homeless children. We have now been successfully carrying out the programme since June 2018. In this time, our children have gone from barely knowing how to use a computer, to writing the code for basic websites totally from scratch. We want to carry on developing the programme in 2020 by continuing appropriate tech education of 20 children, and to engage a further 40 children. Former street youth are often forced into exploitative work. Young people living in shelter often end up back on the street as soon as they leave state care. They become trapped in a cycle of poverty, as they don't have marketable skills to secure well-paid work. Often the only work opportunities available to them are hard manual labour. Why is the tech sector a window of opportunity? Tech education provides young people with marketable skills in a sector where there is a growing demand and shortage of supply in the Middle East. It also gives them access to an international online job market. Where Your Money Will Go | Help us give former street youth in Lebanon an alternative to exploitative work through tech education.
