In supporting our mission as a social responsibility, the VPeace Act(2020) articulates three core goals to advance to our Mission;

  1. Promoting better understanding for social-economic development.

  2. Empowering refugees and host communities to work cooperatively for environmental sustainability and peaceful co-existence.

  3. To create, develop, mobilize for and promote a supportive environment for refugees to thrive and succeed.

OUR LIVELIHOOD ACTIVITIES

10 businesses supported, A piggery unit established, Craft  training for women, Boy clubs and Community sensitization.

With our High Impact Incubator program, we have trained 10 entrepreneurs and supported them establish 10 ventures earning them income which is supporting their households.

Under this program, we train and support participants with seed funds.

We gather Women into Peace Circle and in these WPC, they learn about conflict resolutions, GBV prevention and empowered to protect their rights.

Besides, Women have formed an initiative of making crafts which earns them a living.

The entrepreneurship training I received at VPeace, was very significant to my progress. I learned a lot including Pesonal develoment skills, Ecosystem establisment and pitching. The seed of resilience planted in my mindset from the training and support received from VPeace helped me establish a poulty which is supporting both me and my family.
