A Roman Catholic charity in Kenya has opened a new center to help its former street children compete for jobs, ANSA reports.

Don Bosco Boys Town's IT and Innovation Center has 20 computers, and students from the nearby Don Bosco Technical Institute can use them, too.

"This new IT and Innovation Center will help ensure that youth are able to take courses to help them compete in the current job market," says the director of Salesian Missions, the US development arm of the Salesians of Don Bosco.

"Many students go on to attend university or establish their own businesses and become entrepreneurs in Nairobi."

Don Bosco Boys Town provides education and technical skills training to former street children.

Students who complete their primary education are then assisted with secondary education or are advised to choose technical training in sister institutions.

The two-year technical training provides youth with a wide variety of skills training programs to choose from, including tailoring, car engineering, carpentry, electrical work, and welding, as well as secretarial skills and a full spectrum of computer-related job skills.

After graduation, more than 80% of graduates are employed in their fields of study.
