SKILLS TRAINING
St. Lawrence Relief Centre provides livelihoods training and business start up support to the unemployed. Their goal is to ensure that those living in poverty have the skills and the means to start their own businesses, in order to become self-reliant.
ADVOCACY AROUND CHILD LABOUR
The St. Lawrence Relief Centre actively lobbies their government for two key initiatives: strengthening laws against child labour and increasing funding for education programs. By advocating for stricter legislation, they aim to deter exploitation and protect children. Additionally, increased funding for education creates opportunities that keep children in school, ultimately preventing them from entering the workforce prematurely.
PSYCHO-SOCIAL SUPPORT
The St. Lawrence Relief Centre could partner with other organizations that are working to end child labour. They could provide financial support or volunteer their time to help with these organizations’ efforts.
