PROJECTS
The year at VON&ZU is quite varied, so much so that regular projects have become part of our everyday business routine. On this page, you'll find the latest information about our commitment.
SPONSORSHIP
The Vocational Training Center (VTC) of the Sisters of the Holy Cross in Kiziba, Uganda, is a vocational school for young women. Here, they can complete vocational training in design, tailoring, foot care, hairdressing, catering/housekeeping, or IT services, leading to a state-recognized qualification. These qualifications enable the young women to lead self-reliant and independent lives. Only with a profession can they support their families and escape poverty. The two-year course costs at least €1,000, not including the necessary materials.
The VTC and its students rely on donations to guarantee full-time instruction. We at VON&ZU make four donations a year. The proceeds come from the donation box, which we display at all our public events to raise awareness of the VTC.
