Education
Education is a human right… Believing in Education to be the key to change the world, VPeace provides access to quality education and supports the disadvantaged groups (Orphans , street children, disabled and child mothers) get education to lead a purposeful life with hope.
Livelihood
At Volunteer for Peace, we engage refugee women in Women’s Peace Circles_ WPC to help many women affected by Gender-Based Violence, limited access to economic opportunities and marginalized in decision making processes to share experiences, learn peace building skills and advocate for their rights.
To help them boost their economic potentials, we support them unleash their potential business ideas.
Youth Empowerment
Youth in refugee communities are facing a lot of challenges such as unemployment, low self esteem due to severe uncertenity and not being involved in decision making.
These barriers have forced many youth to join non-state groups that have continuously undermined peace building efforts.
At VPeace therefore, we engage in youth mentorship to help them find and focus on sustainable solutions instead of getting lost due to life changing situations.
Protection
Everyone deserves a safe environment free from abuses, wars, rape, domestic violence, neglect and intimidation.
Children are innocent to the acts of selfish leaders and disasters since they adapt to the environment and learn very fast. If exposed therefore, they will suffer child labour, abuse and forced early marriages.
High Impact Incubator Program
Many refugees face significant challenges in securing livelihoods due to limited access to resources, education and employment opportunities. The High Impact Incubator Program HIIP at VPeace bridges the gaps by providing entrepreneurship training, mentorship and support to participants to create and manage their own businesses to enhance economic self-reliance among youth refugees and host communities.
GO BACK TO SCHOOL CAMPAIGN AND COMMUNITY SENSITIZATION
VPeace in collaboration with FCA conducted series of community sensitization and drive through with a message emphasizing on going back to school and supporting child mothers to enroll back into educational institutions in the 9 zones of Kyaka II refugee settlement.
In regards to VPeace education programs, we led a ‘Go back to school campaign and community sensitization’ in the entire Kyaka II refugee settlement from 16th – 24h September, 2024 with the aim of creating more awareness on the value of education, get feedback on the complaints raised by community members towards education, sensitize parents in order to change their attitude towards education and trace households whose children are not going to school.
