The centre welcomes young women aged between 14 and 30, who often face early pregnancy, family exclusion and limited access to education and the labour market. It offers them comprehensive support combining vocational training, social support and assistance with integration.
In 2025, 44 young women undertook training in dressmaking and hairdressing. Despite several constraints linked to the local context, notably disruptions towards the end of the year and access difficulties during the rainy season, the centre maintained its activities with a high attendance rate and good results in assessments.
The trainees are also supported during work placements with master craftspeople, in partnership with the Bouaké Regional Chamber of Trades, which assists with organising the apprenticeships and validating the training pathways.
In addition, the CFJF offers literacy classes and organises awareness-raising initiatives on health, hygiene and prevention. Medical and psychosocial support remains central, with health check-ups, psychological counselling sessions and specific support for young mothers through a crèche that looks after their children.
In 2025, the centre also strengthened its community ties through awareness-raising activities and events bringing together families and local authorities, notably on International Women’s Day and at the end-of-year ceremony, during which 13 young women received their certificates and a graduation kit.
