Christian World Outreach currently operates two Feminine Training Centers one in Port-au-Prince and the other in Mirebalais.
The training centers provide women with vocational skills so they are able to obtain employment or start their own business and provide for their families.
The women learn skills in sewing, cooking, cake decorating, crafts and cosmetology.
Women who graduate from the training centers are able to make wedding dresses, clothing and food that can be sold in open markets or prepared for special occasions.
Cosmetology graduates are able to work for a salon or start a business out of their home.
Micro-business loans or opportunities to return to the Training Center as a teacher are available for those who excel in one of the learning areas.
The Feminine Training Centers have an excellent completion rate with eight out of ten enrolling and remaining enrolled until graduation.
In 2007, over 200 women graduated from the Feminine Training Centers; upon graduation 80% of these women became employed in their area of training.
