Economic realities mean that the ability to repair any machinery is essential, especially in rural areas. Cars, motorcycles and bicycles require maintenance and provision of classes has been enduringly popular. Such training with provision of facilities has helped many young people begin a sustainable small business. 

Provision of sewing machines with fabric and appropriate training can lead to a home-based business in both making and mending clothes: once training is completed, students are given their machines and can set up their business. 

Metalworking, carpentry and hairdressing courses all address local needs and make for reliable employment.
