Twenty juvenile inmates at Ngaragba Central Prison in Bangui have completed a motorcycle mechanics training program, supported by MINUSCA and the Central African Directorate of Prison Services.<\/p>\n
The initiative, part of the country’s National Strategy for Social Reintegration, aims to equip detainees with practical skills for a fresh start after release.<\/p>\n
At the August 2 certificate ceremony, officials from MINUSCA and the prison administration praised the participants’ dedication.\u00a0“Even behind prison walls, effort and determination can open doors to a new life,” said Nelly Atieno Opiyo of MINUSCA’s Corrections Unit.<\/p>\n
The training covered engine basics, diagnostics, and common repairs. Each graduate received a tool kit to help launch their reintegration journey.\u00a0“Before prison, I had no trade. Now I have the skill to support myself,”\u00a0said one inmate.<\/p>\n
MINUSCA continues to support vocational programs in prisons, including tailoring, carpentry, and solar cooker fabrication, to improve detention conditions and reduce recidivism.<\/p>\n
MINUSCA recently held a disarmament drive in the Central African Republic to help bring stability and security.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
