Cell Phone Repair Course Expands to Orange Walk Town

The “Cell Phone Repair Course for Women and Youth” has been extended to the Orange Walk District. This initiative aims to provide women and youth in Orange Walk Town and surrounding villages with self-employment opportunities by equipping them with skills in cell phone maintenance and repair.

Fourteen participants are currently enrolled in the training program, addressing a pressing need for qualified technicians in the region. With no other training of this kind available in Belize and limited access to cell phone repair services, particularly in rural areas, the program is filling a crucial gap.

Following the success in Corozal, where half of the trainees now offer repair services, the expansion to Orange Walk is expected to yield similar results.

The program also aligns with efforts to diversify the district’s economy, particularly by fostering skills development and entrepreneurship in the Orange Economy. Through this training, women will be empowered to earn additional income from home by repairing cell phones—essential devices for content creation in the growing Orange Economy.
