Located in Hargeisa District, Al-Khair Foundation established a Skills and Vocational Training Project primarily targeted towards women and youth living in Mohamed and Digaale IDP camps. The conditions in these camps are ones of extreme poverty, therefore, leaving them with limited prospects and unable to obtain even the most basic of needs such as shelter and healthcare. The families, usually consisting of six people, live off odd jobs, and have barely enough income. Many of them have the training and skills to be able to provide for themselves and their families.
The objective of this project is to help women and youth gain employable skills as well as business skills. Thus, enabling them to enhance their chances at employment and improve the livelihood of families in the IDP camps. The project entailed cookery classes, electronics classes as well as several others.
At Al-Khair Foundation we work in difficult environments to improve the lives of people that have often lost hope in a future.
