Youth Business Development Grants

Our first group of 20 beneficiaries have received new sewing machines courtesy of the Revolving Fund supported by Livelihood Impact Fund. The fund aims to aid transition of skilled tailors into self-employment after training, thus creating job market and improving quality of life for youths especially young mothers.

World Uni Services of Canada (WUSC) and Mastercard's the Displaced and Refugee youth Enabling Environment Mechanism (DREEM) Project meeting gave us the platform to share our challenges, solutions and opportunities training in the digital space. We look forward to increasing women's participation in digital platforms and paving way for youth's innovation in virtual spaces.

Our youth reproductive health is still on-going in primary schools targeting adolescents from 14 to 25 years old. We have successfully trained 108 adolescent girls in February on their reproductive health and rights through the WeLead Project, and we hope to reach our goal of 400 students by midyear. Empowering more young women and girls in education and reproductive health is among our top goals this year.

Our lead finance officer conducted a brief workshop with revolving fund beneficiaries on how the process works, what help they could expect from RAI, and expectations our institution has from them. Beneficiaries were introduced to Business Literacy class to help them manage & grow their start-ups after the fund.

We celebrated international women's day with an intimate discussion with a group of young women currently studying at RAI center on Refugee women's experiences with e-Learning. It was an informative discussion where participants got to share their real life experiences with digital struggles and their vision of women having unobstructed access to technology?in the camp.?
