A project "Care creates change in people’s lives and the environment" has been launched by the Resources Ministry.
It will be run by Wasteserv with the collaboration of several other entities.
The project, financed by the European Social Fund, will train socially disadvantaged people including victims of domestic violence, vices and poverty, as well as refugees.
Participants will get basic training on waste, recycling and the good use of resources, as well as on subjects of a personal nature such as taking care of one’s finances and communication and computer training. It will provide participants with a practical work experience.
Minister George Pullicino said the project should help in the building of people in a holistic manner helping them to be successful in employment.
