CBF Training
Graduation with Top Honours!
We are only 29 days away from our Big Give 2024 Christmas Campaign! Donations to our Big Give Christmas Challenge (3rd - 6th December) will be generously matched by our supporters & The Reed Foundation meaning any donations will effectively double!
This year, our campaign is focused the challenges of food insecurity and limited livelihood opportunities for refugee women and youth in Rhino Camp and Imvepi Refugee Settlements in northern Uganda. These groups struggle with inadequate access to financial services, vocational training and sustainable agricultural training, resulting in insufficient income, economic instability and poor nutrition. Many refugees in Rhino Camp depend on humanitarian aid for their basic needs, which creates a cycle of poverty.
Our comprehensive livelihood support programme will:
- Form and train Community Savings and Credit Groups to provide access to social insurance, savings and credit, with ongoing mentoring.
- Develop and deliver training on mindset change, business skills, entrepreneurship and financial literacy.
- Train on climate-smart agriculture.
- Distribute quality inputs and support agriculture management.
CRESS has already seen communities flourish under the mentorship of CRESS Community Based Facilitators (CBFs). They work within many different refugee communities training groups to increase access to affordable, sustainable financial services, including social insurance, savings and credit in local groups; to enhance business management, entrepreneurship and financial literacy skills; and to improve food security, income stability and nutrition through group training.
With your donations this Christmas, you will help us continue this vital work.
Morjita Savings Group members have embarked on a joint venture, managing a small store alongside a computer centre.
