Lost Youth
1) These youth have either
never attended school, have reached only the
end of primary school, or have dropped out at some
point before the end of compulsory education. They
have no academic or vocational skills. The majority of
youth in Timor are like this (i.e. over 50%).
2) These
youth often make/become pregnant, and make
trouble (police). There are many lawless and violent
young Timorese.
3) These youth are
rather like street children. Their parents
often accept them reluctantly, society looks down on
them, and worse, they have no self-confidence,
breaking down in tears.
They need 2 things – skills
and work.
1) Skills.
Vocational courses, such as at Pustek Dili, and KKP
and KPM in various places in West Timor. However many
more are needed. The needs are:
- Buildings (for training
courses), e.g. Kefa youth training centre
- Buildings for hostels, and beds
- Equipment (e.g. sewing machines
etc.) (e.g. at KPM and KKP)
- Food and clothes
2) Work. Revolving
credit funds (simpan/pinjam ?)
5.
Orphans and Poor
The basic needs of orphans
(in orphanages) and the poor (in kampongs) are the same,
i.e. they need:
- school needs (books, uniform etc.)
- medical needs
- food
- clothes
They need integrated programs which
cover all these needs (These exist at all orphanages,
and also at projects at Hudilaran, Ermera, Ayotupas).
There is also a need for orphanage
buildings – new, extensions, or rehabilitation.
6.
Water and Sanitation
These are long-term projects,
and must include:
- involvement of villagers in Water
Maintenance Committees
- regular 6-monthly repair checks
- health education in all villages
e.g. Timor Aid cooperates with Delsos
Kupang and Bia Hula in water provision. Other players in
this field are AusAID, ICRC, UNICEF,etc.
