Economic Empowerment
Youth and Women Economic Resilience Initiatives support practical skills, enterprise and sustainable livelihoods.
Youth Economic Resilience Initiatives
Light For All Uganda’s Youth Economic Resilience Initiatives aim to help unemployed and out-of-school young people start and grow businesses, take leadership initiatives, create jobs and improve their livelihoods.
The programme promotes financial self-reliance and income-generating activities through short-term practical skills, business training, project-writing coaching and mentoring. Practical learning in livestock and agriculture sits alongside support to develop business and leadership skills.
Women Economic Resilience Initiatives
The women’s programme aims to support and strengthen sustainable income for women and girls in the Burundian refugee community. It reflects Light For All’s commitment to helping refugee communities and the host community become economically resilient.
Economic resilience is about creating opportunities for people to use their abilities, support their families and contribute to their communities. Practical learning and guidance help turn ideas and aspirations into steps towards greater self-reliance.
