Training Center for Abused Women

This foundation offers occupational training for women who have been abused or prostitutes who want to change their lifestyles.  Women can come to this center for training in dress-making, beauty, hand crafts, bakery, first aid, kitchen aid (cooking) and information science.

The Maria Droste Center is licensed to grant middle school diplomas. This is the compulsory level of education required by local law.  Many emotional and physical factors must be considered when working with women of this position.  Often they have been out of school for many years and must relearn academic information as well as functional duties on a daily basis.  The women of this center are eager to make positive changes in their lives and are very hospitable to volunteers and interns willing to help their efforts.
