My colleague, Jake Tornga, and I have been working on two new project proposals. Both are focused on the Dzaleka Refugee Center in Malawi and are working in conjunction with our partner, There Is Hope Malawi.
One of the ways to help people survive and recover from their forced displacement is to help them develop new capacities. There Is Hope has created two programs…a Vocational Skills training program and Small Scale Business grants program. Both are bringing hope and opportunity to refugees and the host community.
We will be presenting these projects to the IAFR US Board next weekend, proposing that IAFR commit to supporting these projects financially and with our presence. You can pray for wisdom, as the Board considers these proposals.
