Bunk Bed Construction Project
In Indonesia, we delivered a skills-training and construction project at Mojokerto Class IIB Correctional Facility, where 20 people in prison earned certified training in welding, construction and carpentry while building permanent bunk beds for their own overcrowded dormitories. The project created 101 new bed spaces across 9 cell dormitories, easing severe overcrowding while equipping participants with transferable, employment-ready skills.
The project provided hands-on training in welding, construction and carpentry, project-management experience, and employment-ready skills for incarcerated individuals.
- Hands-on carpentry and woodworking skills
- Project management and teamwork development
- Community connection and purpose
- Transferable skills for employment after release
Digital Life Skills App
In Australia, the Raphael Rowe Foundation in collaboration with CON|X is creating a post-release app to support young people leaving the Youth Justice system with education skills forming employment pathways.
The non-formal trauma informed education content provides users incentives to learn and engage, supporting recidivism reduction at a crucial period as they reintegrate into society.
- Post-release support for young people
- Education skills for employment pathways
- Trauma-informed educational content
- Incentive-based learning engagement
