A gift of $25 can support travel fees for men and women to safely attend job skills training. Improving livelihood opportunities is more than economic self-sufficiency. It is also about restoring dignity, confidence, and hope while promoting integration into the local community and strengthening social cohesion. JRS recognizes the resilience and resourcefulness of refugees who want to be independent and self-reliant. We advocate for refugees’ right to work, facilitate access to employment markets and informal market economies, and assist in establishing agricultural projects.

A gift of $50 can provide 4 families with essential food supply kits distributed to their homes as part of our protection program. When people are denied access to basic needs like food, water, shelter, and medical care, they are unable to take the next steps toward a brighter future: children can’t go to school, and adults are unable to attain education and training for better jobs. These basic needs serve as the foundation for strengthening their education, mental health, and vocational opportunities and ultimately, their well-being. 

A gift of $100 can help cover school fees for women and girls. With a majority of displaced girls not enrolled in education programs, JRS has made it a priority to educate them, to promote equality and stability in communities. JRS is committed to ensuring that children who are forced to flee their homes and communities are not deprived of their right to education and their path to a hopeful and productive future. Education provides stability and a sense of normalcy; it engenders hope while preparing refugees to meet future challenges.
