About Us

start their own social enterprises and businesses that propel them towards self-reliance and economic
contribution to their host communities.

Our initial goal is to break the unemployment crisis and address poverty challenges faced by refugees
by equipping them with skills ad competencies for employability and entrepreneurship skills
to be able to access jobs and create their own as they get empowered to become social entrepreneurs.

with over 11.5 million refugees who are unable to access employment
due to the lack of self-awareness, language barriers, and a complete lack of job opportunities.
The lack of skills for the ability of employees,
and opportunities that can enable them to develop their talents and create a dignified life,
and

entrepreneurship development training and social innovation training that will contribute to the
economic development of the nations.
