Computer Traning

COMPUTER TRAINING

Ahisaun has started with this training and small business activity in 2005. Firstly Ahisaun trained its members to increase their capacity and then Ahisaun began thinking about opportunitiesto pass their skill to other people. Ahisaun members therefore began to offer training in Microsoft Word, Excel, Power point and Access to people from outside and to receive someincome for the benefit of the organization

and members.

The objective of this small business activity is to increase more the capacity and skills of people with a disability and to demonstrate their talents to the community so that this make them be more confident to communicate andinteract with the people from outside.

Ahisaun, our members, students from outside and the wider community all benefit from this computer training activity. Importantly, it helps to empower and sustain our members and strengthen Ahisaun to become able to support its daily necessity and to expand its training to the district in the future.

New Disability Training Centre

Ahisaun has started to construct the first Training Centre for people with a disability in Kukoa-Gleno, Ermera District. This Training Centre is very important because it will offer a practical way for all people to have the opportunity to learn some skills, which they can apply to support their life and share with their friends and community. Ahisaun would like to make this possible especially for those who live in remote areas and are most disadvantaged.

The first phase of this project involves the construction of the Training Centre building, which we started with a grant from the Timorese Government but the funding is not enough to complete it. To finish this first stage we seek additional funding support from our friends and donors to make it possible to complete the Training Centre building so that we can start to run training programs. Ahisaun will run training activities in agricultural methods, computing skills, shoe making and in time will focus on hospitality training.

The next stage of the project will involve constructing a water supply system for the disability centre, local primary school and nearby communities. The final stage will add suitable accommodation quarters for people with a disability and take advantage of the beautiful surroundings to establish a guest house.
