YOUTH TRAINING IN FILM AND TELEVISION OPERATIONS Sponsored by British Council
Before the intervention, youths were trained in trades that didn’t match their interests, leading many to sell their startup kits, become idle, and engage in delinquency. To address this, MPDF introduced film training, a field popular among youths. Fifty youths from IDP and host communities in Yola South and Girei LGAs were trained in film-related areas like camera operation, sound, editing, lighting, and directing. The trainees showed high enthusiasm, often attending both morning and afternoon sessions. Despite incomplete funding from the British Council, 37 of them have already begun using their skills commercially, especially in video camera work.
BEAD MAKING
Before this intervention ,most widows that came to be as a result of Boko Haram attack in Mubi North and Mubi South LGAs of Adamawa state, had no means of livelihood thereby became vulnerable, culminating into prostitution, drug peddling and other related vices. With this ugly scenario, MPDF in its magnanimity undertook to train 12 women (widows) in bead making.
These women trained can now boast of their livelihood without looking up to anyone for assistance. They now produce bags, purses and other beads related items to train, feed and clothe their wards
BASIC COMPUTER TRAINING
Employable unemployed youths in Mubi North and Mubi south LGAs of Adamawa state resulted to idleness, phone snatching, drug peddling and many vices associated with youthful exuberance. To curb the youthful excesses, Murmushipdf engaged 25 youths, both male and female in basic computer training .After the extensive training, they were awarded certificates. These trained youths are no longer idle; this training has endeared them with computer literacy where their experiences are being sought after .Some with acquisition of loan facilities are now proud owners of little business centers, whereby they are now employers of labor.
The essence of this computer training cannot be over emphasized as it has provided them the opportunity to be self-reliant
