"Bringing people together made us see gaps in the refugee response"

It soon became clear that many of the refugees needed more than just unity — they needed resources, opportunities, and to learn - English. Inspired by this realization, the founders began offering English classes and expanded their efforts, laying the foundation for what would become YARID.

Filling the Gap

As classes expanded and more learners accessed the services, additional gaps were identified among refugee youth, women, and other vulnerable individuals in both refugee and host communities in Kampala. To address these gaps, vocational skill training was provided to women, enabling them to acquire new skills and start businesses. Support was also given to meet the urgent and basic protection needs of refugee families, prepare individuals for job applications, teach English, and equip the next generation with digital skills through ICT training. Additionally, efforts were made to help refugee children gain valuable educational opportunities in Kyaka Il, and Palabek Refugee Settlement
