🛠️ Bunyad Vocational Skills

Empowering Communities Through Skill Development & Economic Opportunity

Bunyad Foundation firmly believes that education must go hand-in-hand with livelihood development. Our vocational skills programs aim to equip youth, women, and marginalized groups with practical skills that lead to income generation, self-reliance, and long-term poverty alleviation.

We prioritize rural and low-income communities, particularly those most affected by child labor, illiteracy, and displacement. Through technical training, entrepreneurship guidance, and market linkages, we help communities move from dependence to empowerment.
