Young Refugees (< 35 years.) have skills gaps compared to the host population and therefore do need education but culture does not prioritize education. RLS wants to solve this problem through vocational training to the refugees who had no opportunity for regular education back home. The aim of the project is to build the capacity of the refugees, increase the opportunities of getting jobs and generate income. Therefore, RLS seeks to partner in order to overcome challenges in education & capacity building, livelihood strategies’ support and peace building.
Refugees in Kiryandongo and in Uganda at large rely on food aid provided by World Food Programme WFP and other donors.
To counter malnutrition at the refugee settlement, in cooperation with our partners we will set up 4 food forests by equipping 60 refugee women with skills, knowledge, equipements and the fruit trees seedlings to establish the forest.
Agricultural extension services and electronic media play an important role in the adoption of new agricultural technologies.
Malnutrition is a serious public health problem in Kiryandongo refugee settlement. It retards child growth, increases the risk and duration of illness, reduces work output, and slows social and mental development.
Local language support program is tailored to training, mentoring and networking initiatives aimed at enhancing immigrants’ language proficiency, business skills, and professional communications
.
For easy-to-search, RLS-library provides resources, tools and links to support entrepreneurs research into what tools, skills and mindsets required to design small business and good integration practices.
Refugees can offer an important contribution to the social and economic progress of Uganda.
Basically, refugee women face lack of sanitary and women friendly spaces at refugee camps. Besides other households’ burden they would be able to afford buying menstruation products from pharmacies.
In July 2021 OPM allocated a farmland of about 8 acres for a group of 20 women to improve food and nutrition security. This project is led by a group of women from Kiryandongo Refugee Settlement and has been facilitated by a concretum of different stakeholders. This project went through 4 phases.
