This Project will train at least 100 Refugees and IDPs in Tailoring, Hair Dressing, Mechanic and computer training in 7 provinces in DRC, and will provide equipment to those who have completed and put in place a modern Tailoring Center which will solve the existing needs in the communities. This will become a livelihood activity for both refugees and IDPs as they will produce and sell their items to local communities in order to become self-reliant.
Refugee women in DRCongo were abandoned, while they do not have access to livelihood opportunities, they are extremity vulnerable and highly stigmatized in their communities , many cannot even manage to respond to their basic needs, and are victims of all forms of sexual exploitation. Even young girls are at permanent risks and in such their children do not access education. they are no projects looking at their well-being. This will reduce poverty and dependency.
We just want to train them and make them a human resource for themselves and for the community. This will also portray refugees positively and will make the government to view them as potential partners in order to build economy and contribute to the development of the country. This project will develop refugee professionals in Tailoring, Computers, Hair Dressing and shoe making, making liquid Soap, among others hand skills which will help the community.
They will be economically stable and will end poverty among refugees especially women and young girls in DRC. This will offer them better opportunities to be integrated in their communities and end stigmatization and discrimination. This will change the public perception in which refugees are considered as problems and threats to the community, and help members to be part of the economic solutions in the communities, they will pay taxes, make social contributions and solve problems of people.
