Mission
To give children, young people and adults in Guinea-Bissau access to basic education and to training that turns into work.
About us
A school without walls, in Bissau-Velho.
WILTTEN GB is a non-governmental organization dedicated to education and training in Guinea-Bissau. We work in borrowed classrooms, workshops and yards — wherever people are.
Vision
A Guinea-Bissau where nobody goes without learning to read, or without a trade, because of where they were born.
How it works
From enrolment to a first job
Courses are short, practical, and free or at a token cost. Every class has one trainer in charge and a limited number of places.
The path is the same for every course: enrolment, classes, practice, certificate, and follow-up after the course.
- 1
Enrolment
In person or by email. No entrance exam.
- 2
Classes
Two to four sessions a week, at hours that fit around work.
- 3
Practice
Workshop, bench or computer — most of the hours are hands-on.
- 4
Certificate
Issued at the end of the course with the trainer's assessment.
- 5
Follow-up
Help finding work or starting a small business.
Who we work with
- Children out of school or struggling in it
- Young people without vocational training
- Adults who never had the chance to learn to read
- Schools, families and neighbourhood leaders
How we work
Four simple rules
- Close
- Inside the neighbourhoods, not from an office.
- Practical
- What is learned today is used tomorrow.
- For everyone
- Age, gender and money are not entry criteria.
- In the open
- A licensed organization; we answer to those who support us.
