Empowering Dreams: Building Careers for Underprivileged Youth

How the church will sustain the Cause

Impact Sustainability Plan: Maintaining the Long-Term Effectiveness of Healthy Coffee and Drink Brewing Training Without Relying on External Funding Our church is committed to ensuring that the benefits of vocational skills training—specifically in healthy coffee and beverage brewing—are sustained over time through internal resources and community engagement. This plan focuses on creating a self-reliant model that minimizes dependence on additional external funding by implementing the following strategies: 1. Dedicated Oversight and Leadership A full-time church staff member is appointed to oversee the youth vocational skills club. This individual is responsible for guiding the training activities, monitoring progress, and continuously developing relevant and adaptive training programs to meet the evolving needs of the youth. 2. Infrastructure and Equipment Maintenance The church allocates internal funds to develop and maintain essential facilities, including training classrooms and equipment such as coffee makers, grinders, and brewing tools. These investments transform the church’s space into an ongoing learning environment that supports continuous skill development. 3. Fostering Shared Responsibility and Ownership Participating youths are actively involved in maintaining equipment, planning production schedules, and managing distribution processes. A portion of the proceeds generated from their products is reinvested into the program to cover maintenance and future improvements, fostering self-reliance and ownership. 4. Promoting Community and Parental Engagement The church encourages community members and parents to participate in activities, providing support and shared ownership. This inclusive approach strengthens community ties, enhances local ownership, and ensures ongoing support for the program’s sustainability. 5. Long-Term Vision and Commitment By embedding these activities within the church’s ongoing programs and fostering a culture of shared responsibility, we believe that the positive impact of vocational training will endure. The program aims to empower youth, develop local economic opportunities, and create lasting change within the community— all without dependence on external funding sources. Through these comprehensive internal approaches and community involvement, the church is dedicated to ensuring the sustained success and continued positive impact of the vocational skills training program.
