Social impact

Local employment and training

The NV construction sector is based on the High Intensity Labor Organization (HIMO) method, which promotes local employment, particularly for young people in rural areas. By training local masons and craftsmen, AVN enables these workers to develop a sustainable activity, particularly during the dry season, thus reducing the rural exodus and precarious employment, such as gold panning. The technical and entrepreneurial training offered by AVN enables artisans to master a highly employable trade without requiring advanced literacy or numeracy skills. What's more, this approach stimulates local economies by reducing dependence on expensive imported materials.
