Need
Many young women from low-income families have little or no opportunity to attend postsecondary schooling due to limited financial resources, thereby limiting their employment opportunities.
Action/results
Punlaan offers young women a two-year course in hospitality and hotel management. It gives young women who could not otherwise afford education the opportunity to gain employment with which they can support themselves and their families. Graduates have a 100 per cent employment rate.
Between 2016-2018, LINCCO funded 30 student scholarships for the transportation and practical class supplies in hospitality and hotel management.
