<strong>Cuso</strong> international volunteers work on programs such<br />

as teacher training, vocational training, and improved<br />

primary education, particularly for girls.<br />

We do this because millions of people around the world<br />

are missing out on primary education, and millions<br />

more struggle to acquire the basic skills they need to<br />

unleash their potential for their communities.<br />

“Many development organizations talk<br />

about capacity development but provide<br />

little assistance. However, your way of<br />

building our capacity is really different<br />

and appreciated. With the support of the<br />

volunteers, we have been improving our<br />

ICT infrastructure and communication<br />

system. Our English teachers have been<br />

getting technical supports to improve<br />

their skills and this is very important to<br />

bring about the changes we need in our<br />

education system.”<br />
