| Our program started 13
years ago documenting all the major designs for outrigger canoes in the Marshall Islands.
After accomplishing this goal, we shifted the focus of the program to the critically
needed vocational training of and capacity building for youth. Among a variety of
spin-off benefits, our program’s vocational training center is generating jobs and
working toward the elimination of poverty. While the training techniques for these young
men and women focuses on canoe building-related techniques, the capacity building and life
skills learned are preparing young men and women trainees for jobs in any field. |
