Twenty-four young people drawn from 12 communities in four parishes have been trained in various aspects of economic management. The training was conducted by LASCO Chin Foundation under the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) Positive Pathways grant initiative.

Programme Manager of LASCO Chin Foundation Paul Irving explained that “we are training young people about economic sustainability, how it is that they consider family assets, the matter of money coming in and moving out of the household, how do they prioritise expenditures, and seeing education as part of an investment”.
