Promoting refugees’ self-reliance

We aim to promote African refugees’ self-reliance and self-sufficiency by

  • Providing advice and information about access to employment and opportunities, including assistance to find employment by the provision of vocational and skills training, advice and support.
  • Providing information about jobs available, career choices,
    and vocational training and education opportunities.
  • Identifying and arranging voluntary placements to enable beneficiaries to gain further skills and experience, with the aim of moving closer to the labour market and gaining sustainable employment.
  • Supporting education and self-employment for refugees in the informal sector, income generating projects and small business initiatives.
  • Promoting the economic self-reliance of refugees through vocational skills, developing skills and business training, language courses, job placements and small business loans.
  • Promoting business initiatives undertaken by Rwandan refugees.
