The Jansen PrimeSteps Foundation has made it possible for the Ganydar Foundation to purchase tools for a training center and a tool rental service. Ganydar provides ongoing support for three training facilities in Cuba, where more than 1,500 young men and women have received training since 1995. The apprentices and trained craftsmen help maintain local infrastructure and restore historic buildings.
Jansen PrimeSteps’ one-off financial support was granted with the expectation that a comparatively modest amount could enable the creation of a number of new jobs and small businesses.
