PACE I – Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement in Plantation Communities

The PACE I Project – Personal Advancement and Career Enhancement in Plantation Communities focused on strengthening the personal development and career readiness of women and youth in plantation-sector communities.

Implemented by Chrysalis with funding from CARE USA and the Gap Foundation, the project responded to the limited access plantation youth and women often face in education, confidence-building, and career advancement opportunities within the plantation economy.
