ASID is a vocational and technical School located at Kamembe , Rusizi district, in Western province, Rwanda. It has a mission to better prepare all learners for the qualitative education for tomorrow by teaching them different applicable skills in the program called " local innovative industries" with entrepreneurship and help them to form companies and cooperatives at the end of their courses. This will contribute to the social economic transformation of the people of Africa especially those who live nearby the school. ASID targets youth who finish the secondary school education, university graduates who are unemployed but who are willing to learn vocational and technical courses to make small manufacturing and technical industries, youth and adults who have dropped out of their university studies for any reason but who are today willing to be trained in any vocational and technical work. In addition the existing vocational and Technical schools are not able to satisfy current demand. Mostly, there are youth who finished secondary schools and universities who have no Jobs. Our school will help those performing students, to be employed in school workshops after graduation and the school will search for the market of the products they are doing in order to pay them monthly. The market will be searched worldwide.
