Impact on Underrepresented Groups:

BBCDC is located in a remote region of Lesotho, and operating a Co-ed educational institution since 1993.  Its scope is particularly focused on out of work youth and for those unable to complete formal education.  BBCDC devised a program of practical education and skills required for rural and urban development and fostering of commercial enterprise on a decentralized basis. The two-year residential course is open to young Basotho men and women. Education is “hands-on” with focus on self- reliance and income generation. The guiding theme of learning is experiential education which is outcomes based. Exit level outcomes for graduates include three broad capacities: business sense, employment potential and skills for self-reliance. Such generalists are employable, capable of incubating and operating micro-enterprises, and capable of practicing resourcefulness and operational independence. A number of follow-up tracer studies have been conducted and these indicate that the program offered by BBCDC works. Graduates are getting jobs, becoming entrepreneurs and starting small businesses.
