OIC International, in association with corporate sponsors, celebrity partners and committed board members, invites YOU to Support a unique scholarship for young African trades men and women.

Technical Training and skills development is THE DRIVING FORCE behind economic growth and employment across Africa. OIC International is one of the largest NGOs on the continent focusing on vocational training. We train community health workers, metal workers, mechanics, draftsmen, seamstresses, farmers, electricians and plumbers.

Funding 1 Scholarship for a Vocational Training Grant offers skilled job seekers an opportunity to support themselves and build Africa’s future – and a prosperous future of their own.

Help 1 youth in Africa join the forces of the PROUD, EMPLOYED, PRODUCTIVE WORKFORCE in their country.

Across traditional media, social media, and across a strong portfolio of online digital communications, OICI is promoting our supporters’ and partners efforts to launch 100 scholarships in 2012.

Campaign highlights include a celebrity-supported appeal for support, board-supported matching gift incentive and an international field visit opportunity for the top donors.
