In our training center in Mauritania, Maison des Sourds, groups of deaf, unskilled youngsters receive practical lessons in baking bread and pastry for three years.
And for two days a week they follow courses in sign language, reading and writing and applied calculation. At the end of the training they are assisted in finding a job or starting up a business. This way they can ‘put bread on the table’ and earn a living for themselves and their families.
