The program will be offered in four cities: Yaoundé, Maroua, Bertoua and Ebolowa.
The most popular trades are silk-screen printing, painting, tailoring,
hairdressing/aesthetics, restaurant/pastry making and computer graphics.
From previous experience, it turns out that 80% of teenagers that finish
their training (on average, there's a 5% dropout rate) start their own
self-supporting businesses. The other 20% generally has a good chance of remaining
with the small businesses they were trained at.
In 2011, the Turing Foundation will contribute €38,000 to the project (50% of training costs).

Speed schools for 300 children, province of Kadiogo, Burkina Faso, 2010-2011
In Burkina Faso, Woord & Daad and partner CREDO started dozens of so-called speed schools. These schools give children in the ages of 9-12 who have not had any previous education the opportunity to still receive primary education. The speed schools teach the first three years of primary education in nine months time, with classes of no more than thirty children. After that, the children will be able to enrol in regular primary education at their own age level.
In 2010, the Turing Foundation will contribute a total of €25,000.

Educational/Food Programme for 10,000 school children, Thika, Kenya, 2010
The Macheo Children's Centre runs a children's home in Thika, Kenya and supports several primary schools in nearby slums. Schools in Kenya do not charge a tuition fee, but some cannot afford the obligatory school uniform, or are unable to come to school every day since that means going a day without food. This programme therefore distributes plain, free meals and donates school uniforms to the very poorest of children. The daily, nutritious meal has led to a substantial increase of students at the schools involved, as well as a significant improvement of school results. In 2009, 2820 children received a daily meal. Macheo wants to expand the programme to 10,000 children.
From 2010 up to and including 2012, the Turing Foundation will contribute €105,000 to the education/food programme. The Turing Foundation has supported this Cause before by donating €62,000.

Teacher Training, Kenia en Tanzania, 2010
In Kenya and Tanzania, Terre des Hommes is working with local partners to improve the quality of secondary education at government schools. Teachers are being trained in modern teaching methods, exam methods and the subjects mathematics, geography, chemistry and English. In Kenya 100 teachers will be trained over a period of 4 years, starting with two-day modules throughout the year that are repeated and elaborated on every year. In Tanzania, 40 teachers will be trained every year during a three-week summer course.
The Turing Foundation is contributing €27,000 to the project.
Update july 2011:
The project's outcome has been disappointing. In Mara, Tanzania for example, only 20 teachers have been trained instead of 40, and teacher training in Turkana, Kenya were given by local teachers instead of professionals from Nairobi. As a result, the costs have turned out to be lower than was previously expected, so our donation has been lowered from €27,000 to €11,284.

Farming and Livelihood Improvement Programme, Ghana 2010
All over the world, SOS Kinderdorpen offers structural support to orphans and abandoned children. Over the past couple of years, the foundation has increasingly focused on establishing and improving job training, especially in Central and East Africa. The Turing Foundation has cooperated with SOS Kinderdorpen in the field of education before, in Burundi.
The Farming and Livelihood Improvement Programme aims to improve the current social and food security of vulnerable children and adolescents in rural Ghana. Cooperating with GOAN and Avalon, 600 adolescents from the age of 13 are being trained in biological agricultural techniques, and young men and women from the age of 18 are being assisted in setting up their own farms. A great number of teachers are being trained for this purpose. They will be able to continue their activities in the future without any additional financial support.
The Turing Foundation supports the Farming and Livelihood Improvement Programme in Ghana until 2011 by covering one-third (€ 60,000) of the vocational training costs.

Construction of an income generating lodge for vocational training, Kisumu, Kenia, 2010
The Ujima Foundation offers vocational education for underprivileged children of Nakuru and Kisumu who need to provide for younger brothers and sisters. The young students are trained to find jobs in the hospitality sector (hotels, restaurants, et cetera). In order to defray the costs of this vocational training programme of Kisumu in the long term, a tourist lodge is being constructed on the banks of Lake Victoria. The business plan shows that the profits from the lodge can already cover the costs of the programme within a few years. In Nakuru, the Ujima Foundation has already proven that this can be done.
In 2010, the Turing Foundation contributes € 30,000 to the construction of the lodge.

Educational/Food Programme for 1180 children of Several Primary Schools in Thika, Kenya, 2009-2009
One of the projects of the Macheo Children's Centre is to develop a children's home in Thika. Apart from that, it supports the nearby Kianjau Primary School. Everyone in the slum of Kiandutu can attend this school, as long as they wear the prescribed school uniform. However, not every one can afford this uniform, or even afford to come to school every day. A school day often means a day without a meal. This project therefore offers uniforms to all the children and enables the school to cook a simple, free meal for all its pupils every day.
The Turing Foundation already supported this education/food programme of the Kianjau Primary School in 2007.
In 2008, the programme will be extended to 1180 pupils of the Kianjau and Athena Primary Schools in Thika.
The Turing Foundation contributes € 40,000 to the project for these two schools in 2008.
Furthermore, the Turing Foundation contributes € 12,000 to the building
of vegetable greenhouses, allowing the school to become independent of funding in the future.

Educational projects Liliane Foundation 2009
The Liliane Foundation provides direct, small-scale and tailor-made help to handicapped children and young people in developing countries. In many cases, the Liliane Foundation helps those children to go to school. What especially appeals to the Turing Foundation is that the Liliane Foundation in this way offers opportunities to children who cannot be helped by any other educational relief organisation, because their needs are too small-scaled. Often, these needs concern one single child in a location where education is available despite poverty, but of which the child cannot make use because of its handicap.
Just like last year, the Turing Foundation donates € 150,000 to the Liliane Foundation in 2009
for help to children in the field of education.
With this amount, the Liliane Foundation will be able to help more than 1,500 children.

Improvement of vocational training in Nyakabiga, Burundi, 2008
SOS Children's Villages ensures that orphans and children left without parental care can grow up in a family, regardless of their religion, descent or skin colour. In the villages, the children live with their 'own' SOS-mother, together with brothers and sisters. Health care and social guidance, but also education and training play a vital role. During the last few years, the foundation has therefore worked intensively on the establishment and improvement of vocational schools, especially in Central and East Africa.
The Turing Foundation contributes € 100,000 to a project that aims to
improve the quality of education in 2008 at the Vocational Training Centre in Nyakabiga,
Burundi, and to make it more easily accessible to underprivileged young people.

Educational/Food Programme for 1180 children of Several Primary Schools in Thika, Kenya, 2008
One of the projects of the Macheo Children's Centre is to develop a children's home in Thika. Apart from that, it supports the nearby Kianjau Primary School. Everyone in the slum of Kiandutu can attend this school, as long as they wear the prescribed school uniform. However, not every one can afford this uniform, or even afford to come to school every day. A school day often means a day without a meal. This project therefore offers uniforms to all the children and enables the school to cook a simple, free meal for all its pupils every day.
The Turing Foundation already supported this education/food programme of the Kianjau Primary School in 2007.
In 2008, the programme will be extended to 1180 pupils of the Kianjau and Athena Primary Schools in Thika.
The Turing Foundation contributes € 40,000 to the project for these two schools in 2008.
Furthermore, the Turing Foundation contributes € 12,000 to the building
of vegetable greenhouses, allowing the school to become independent of funding in the future.

Education in the Slum Area of Vila Cruzeiro, Rio de Janeiro, 2008
The IBISS Foundation stands up for the most marginalised groups in Brazil. In the slums children are hardly stimulated to go to school, or do not get the chance to do so. With the Preparar Vila Cruzeiro project in the infamous slum area of Rio de Janeiro IBISS tries to change this. On the renovated third floor of the IBISS building hundreds of children are received and educated or prepared to enter into a normal school.

Educational projects Liliane Foundation 2008
The Liliane Foundation provides direct, small-scale and tailor-made help to handicapped children and young people in developing countries. In many cases, the Liliane Foundation helps those children to go to school. What especially appeals to the Turing Foundation is that the Liliane Foundation in this way offers opportunities to children who cannot be helped by any other educational relief organisation, because their needs are too small-scaled. Often, these needs concern one single child in a location where education is available despite poverty, but of which the child cannot make use because of its handicap.
The Turing Foundation donates € 300,000 in total to the Liliane Foundation for help to children in the field of education in 2008 and 2009. With this amount, the Liliane Foundation will be able to help more than 3,000 children.

Support for the schools in North-West Thailand, 2007-2008
The Samsara Foundation organises concrete and small-scaled projects for the improvement of education in the district of Mae Sariang in North-West Thailand. In that area, 25,000 underprivileged children receive education in 178 different schools. The children live in poor mountain villages of the Karen and Hmong hill tribes. Some of them stay in the dormitories of their school for the larger part of the year, because their home village is more than a day's journey away from the school.
The Turing Foundation donates € 22,000 to a project of the Samsara Foundation for the purchase of school books for the 15 poorest school in the districts of Mae Sariang, Mae Lanoi and Sop Moei, and for the construction of dormitories, canteens including kitchens and toilets for the two most isolated schools of Thailand (the Cho Si Deu Nua School and the Huay Muang School).

Education and food programme for 550 children of the Kianjau Primary School, Kenya, 2007-2009
One of the projects of the Macheo Children's Centre in Thika,
Kenya is to run a children's home. Apart from that it supports the nearby Kianjau Primary School. Everyone in the slum of Kiandutu can attend this school, as long as they wear a school uniform. However, the poorest children do not have enough money to pay for the uniform. Moreover, they cannot afford to go to school every day, since they will have to choose between the school and a meal. Therefore, this project provides uniforms to all and enables the school to offer a simple, free meal to all its pupils every day.
The Turing Foundation finances this education and food programme for the 550 children of the Kianjau Primary School in the year 2007, and has also committed to fund 50% of programme costs for 2008 and 33% of the costs for 2009 (€ 62,000 in total).
