Kafel Aid - Toward Self-Reliant Refugees

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIR OF TRUSTEES

Hosting countries have numerous benefits when refugees can participate in vocational training. For instance, refugees can help to fill skills shortages in the workforce. They can also bring new ideas and perspectives to the table, leading to increased productivity and innovation.

Many refugees leave their homes and communities due to conflict or persecution. While this is difficult for anyone, it is tough for those who have to start over in a new society. Many refugees face challenges in finding employment, learning the language, and dealing with trauma. However, it is essential to remember that refugees are also people with skills and talents. In fact, refugees can bring much productivity to their new host countries. By promoting self-sufficiency and skill development, refugees can help to build up the economy and create new jobs. They can also contribute to the cultural richness of their new home.

At Kafel Aid, it is essential to provide refugees with the opportunity to develop. Recently, the number of refugees seeking asylum in developed countries has increased dramatically—the dislocation results from conflict and persecution in the home countries. Also, the hope of finding the safety and a better life in a developed country leads to seeking refugees.

While the influx of refugees can be seen as a burden on resources in the host country, it is essential to remember that these refugees are people who have the potential to contribute to the hosting community. In particular, sponsoring refugee orphans can benefit the host country. First, sponsoring refugee kids ensures that they have access to education, and this credential not only helps the individual child but also has the potential to create a skilled workforce for the future.

At Kafel Aid, we believe that Refugees often bring productivity and skills to their hosting countries. However, it is also essential to support.

Kafel Aid - Toward Self-Reliant Refugees

MESSAGE FROM THE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR

It is no secret that the global refugee crisis has displaced millions, and the number is only expected to grow as conflict and persecution continue. While Kafel Aid and other organizations are working tirelessly to provide aid and support to refugees, it is also important to remember that refugees are human beings with skills and talents. And, with the proper training, they can be an asset to the host countries.

Hosting countries benefit from refugees who have received the proper vocational training. Indeed, they bring a wealth of experience and knowledge that can benefit the community. They also add to the community's social fabric and can help contribute to its vibrancy. Refugees who have been properly trained can offer a lot to society, and they can help fill gaps in the workforce, and their skills can help contribute to the economy.

Kafel Aid supported vocational training projects in Sudan and Northern Ethiopia, providing refugees with the skills they need to find employment and become self-sufficient this year. It can also help them to build a new social network and support system in the community.

In 2021/2022, Kafel Aid's training projects differ in variations by including Carpentry, Veterinary and Solar Energy Panel Installation. Hosting countries benefit from refugees who have received the proper vocational training, and the training provides them with the skills they need to support themselves and low-income families in the country's poorest region. The solar panel installation project is particularly impactful, as it can provide refugee families with a source of income and help to offset the high cost of living in the area.

Kafel Aid - Toward Self-Reliant Refugees

ABOUT ERITREAN REFUGEES

Eritrea is a small country in the horn of Africa bordered by Sudan, Ethiopia, and Djibouti. In the last few years, it has become one of the leading origin countries of refugees and asylum seekers. The majority of Eritrean refugees are located in Sudan and Ethiopia. The reasons for refugee flows from Eritrea are complex and include human rights abuses, forced military conscription, and lack of economic opportunities. Recently, the number of refugees has increased due to the country's deteriorating political and financial situation.

Since the early 1990s, Eritreans have fled their country due to various human rights waves of abuse. The situation has only worsened recently, with an estimated 3,000 people fleeing the country every month. Most of these refugees are young people aged 18-24. The reasons for their flight are numerous and include mandatory conscription into the national service, which can last for years and is often described as forced labour. Other causes include political repression, lack of religious freedom, and lack of opportunity. The journey to safety is often long and dangerous, with many refugees dying en route. Those who make it often end up in camps in Sudan or Ethiopia, where conditions are often poor.

Eritrean refugees are some of the most vulnerable people in the world. They are often forced to flee their homes due to conflict or persecution, and as a result, they face many challenges in the hosting countries. Young Eritrean refugees often have difficulty accessing education and employment opportunities and often suffer from mental health issues due to their experiences.

Kafel Aid works to improve the lives of young Eritrean refugees. By providing vocational training, the organisation provides them with access to education. To empower these young refugees, the charity cooperates with local partner organisations. Kafel Aid supported vocational training in various fields to help Eritrean refugees live as independent and productive members in the hosting countries.

TRAINING PROJECT IN NORTH ETHIOPIA

Thirty young people completed their training in nursing in Northern Ethiopia this year. Kafel Aid partnered with local health and educational institutions in the Afar region to alleviate the crisis in the medical profession by providing well-prepared training to remote community locals and refugees. The nursing profession is essential, and Kafel Aid is blessed to have funded the training of talented and compassionate nurses in this region. By the grace of Allah, with these newly trained nurses, the quality of patient care is sure to improve. Additionally, these nurses will be able to provide much-needed care to rural areas of Ethiopia where medical resources are scarce.

As we all know, health-related issues are a massive burden in this area, and they cause a great deal of suffering. Every year, millions of people die from preventable diseases. We can save lives if we can reduce the number of health-related issues. The nursing profession is one of the most critical jobs in this society.

The participants were a diverse group, coming from all corners of the region. They were all united in their desire to make a difference in the lives of others. During their time at the training centre, they learned about the importance of compassionate care and the essential skills needed to provide quality patient care. The participants are now prepared to enter the workforce and positively impact lives.

TRAINING PROJECT IN SUDAN

This year the carpentry training project was a great success. Twenty people participated in this project which is the first of its nature, and the participant worked hard to achieve excellent results. The organisation is proud of the effort shown in this training project. This training project would not have been possible without the support of our sponsors. Kafel Aid plans to continue the carpentry work and provide more opportunities for the Eritrean refugees in Sudan. The vocational training is funded as part of the Maher program developed to end poverty among Eritrean refugees. The project was a great success and is a significant help to young people from low-income families who benefited from the training. Kafel Aid is always looking for ways to improve the quality of the training projects and make them more successful. The organisation chose carpentry as a high-demand skill in the region. We hoped to encourage more people to enter the field by providing training and education in carpentry. We partnered with a local nongovernmental organisation that delivered this first carpentry vocational training project in the Sudanese capital Khartoum. The project targeted young people aged 16-35, 80% of young refugees on the outskirts of Khartoum and 20% of young Sudanese. These twenty young people are ready to succeed and impact their surroundings by providing highly demanded wood-related services.

TRAINING PROJECT IN SUDAN

Many young refugees cannot find employment and work to support themselves and their families with the right skills. Kafel Aid supported a training project in veterinary for 20 Eritrean refugees in Eastern Sudan. The country has a large livestock population widely distributed and mostly kept in a nomadic lifestyle; therefore, providing quality veterinary services to livestock owners in remote places is crucial. The project focused on teaching veterinary assistants how to handle appropriately and care for animals. The project was a success, and the young refugee gained essential skills. It is no more a secret that animal medical care has progressed by leaps and bounds in recent years. Much of this progress is due to the fantastic work done by veterinary professionals. Continuing education and training are essential to keeping up with the latest advancements. We are excited about our new training project for veterinary technicians at Kafel Aid. This project gave the young refugees the skills and knowledge needed to provide the best possible care for animal patients in rural areas.

Kafel Aid has provided this training for deprived refugees of both genders. This project will help them secure jobs so they can rely on their skills to support themselves and their families. This project will also help animals in the area receive the best possible care thanks to the new skills and knowledge these young beneficiaries have acquired.

2021 -2022 S O L A R E N E R G Y TRAINING PROJECT IN SUDAN

Many young refugees are without hope for the future. They live in countries like Sudan without proper access to higher education. Refugees have the talent and potential to make a difference in their communities, but they need the opportunity to develop their skills. Empowering young refugees through education and training is the key to unlocking their potential. Kafel Aid provides support to refugees so they can access quality education and training opportunities. Among the newest training projects was the solar installation project, which will help young refugees to reach their full potential. The project was a joint effort between Kafel Aid and a local partner organisation. Kafel Aid supported vocational training in solar panel installation that covered the essential skills in solar energy techniques. The training project was designed for those who want to improve their employability opportunity in Kassala and its surroundings. The training included theoretical and practical instruction. Kafel Aid works with a well-rooted organisation that has served the region for a long time. Overall, the project was a great success, and we are delighted with the results! Kafel Aid provided this training to 20 young people from a secondary school. The beneficiaries come from refugee families living in rural Kassala, looking for an independent life. Being able to install solar panels, these young refugees will improve their financial circumstances and provide highly demanded service in supplying the region with technology in the energy storage system.

K A F E L A C A D E M Y ONLINE PLATFORM FOR REFUGEES

Refugees often face difficulty finding opportunities to develop skills that are in high demand by employers. This lack of skills development can limit refugees' ability to find employment, leading to long-term dependency on aid. Our new online courses can help refugees develop their skills to find jobs and become self-sufficient. These courses are self-paced and can be accessed from anywhere with an internet connection. They are also designed to be flexible to fit other commitments such as work and family. Kafel Academy is a new online course platform for refugees. It is a non-profit platform that offers free online courses to refugees. The courses are designed to help refugees improve different skills and prepare for employment. The website provides free access to highquality courses designed to help refugees rebuild their lives. Delivered by expert instructors, the courses cover various topics, including English language, business management, and IT. Kafel Academy is a valuable resource for refugees keen to improve their skills and rebuild their lives. The courses are free for refugees and provide a valuable opportunity to gain new skills and knowledge. Kafel Aid developed the online platform for the most vulnerable people in the world. Refugees fled their homes to escape violence, persecution, and war and, as a result, have often missed out on formal education. This circumstance can make it difficult for them to rebuild their lives and provide for their families.

In the harsh life of refugee camps, many children lost one or two of their parents. Hundreds of children live as orphans with severe conditions. We are working to alleviate difficulties by sponsoring orphans financially. The crisis is enormous, and the support required is higher than can be covered by one charity's capacity. However, remote support means a huge life change for them; we call on all our donors to donate generously toward this project.

Kafel Aid provides sponsoring opportunities for these orphans to have better lives. Sponsoring a child changes their life long-term and builds a future.

Kafel Aid's vocational programs promote self-sufficiency and skill development among refugees, empowering individuals to generate income and support themselves and their families. In line with this spirit, we also understand the importance of sponsoring children left alone without safety and proper care in the harsh environment of the refugee camps. Therefore, in partnership with a local charity, we have sponsored orphans in Eastern Sudan.

Zakat is an Islamic religious obligation, typically giving 2.5% of one's income or savings to charity. The literal meaning of the Arabic word Zakat is "to purify". Giving Zakat is compulsory for all Muslims who are in a position to provide it. There are several ways in which people can give Zakat, but it must always reach those in need. Why do we pay Zakat? People pay Zakat for many reasons, to mention some: 1) Paying Zakat makes you closer to Allah.

"And My servant does not draw near to Me with anything more beloved to Me than the religious duties I have obligated upon him." (Sahih Bukhari)

2- It purifies the wealth

Allah says

(Take from their wealth ˹O Prophet˺ charity to purify and bless them, and pray for them - surely your prayer is a source of comfort for them. And Allah is All-Hearing, AllKnowing) 9:103

3- Relieves the sufferings of poor people

From our varied vocational training projects and the further support delivered to the most-needy communities, we learned the importance of broadening our aid programs by including a Zakat program. We put forward a 100% Zakat donation policy where we assure that any Zakat donations reach out to the needy in full.

Kafel Aid delivered the Befriending Programme to help the vulnerable people of our community in the City of London. We provided this much-needed service to aid isolated people in adapting to the challenges of the COVID-19 lockdown. The organisation could support vulnerable clients to the best of our ability, helping them at every step on the journey to adjusting to post-lockdown life in three significant ways:

• 1.Running Befriending Therapy over the phone in the native languages to improve the wellbeing of the elderly, single mums and other individuals who live alone. The volunteers gathered case studies from these calls. Based on the priority level of their case, they referred the clients to one of the follow-up programmes, either Virtual Talk Therapy or One to One Therapy. The clients welcomed the calls enormously and had a very positive response to them.

• 2.Kafel Aid delivered impact-oriented Virtual Talk Therapy sessions in the native languages of the clients. The management selected the clients who needed additional mental support for the Virtual Talk Therapy sessions from those who participated in the Befriending Therapy calls. Many female participants expressed difficulties while locked down at home with their children. They struggled during this time, particularly with home-schooling. The challenges and pressures overwhelmed many of our clients. As a result, many families experienced conflict, fighting and disagreements between mothers and their children and among partners. Our mental healthcare providers expertly guided the struggling ladies throughout the sessions, providing helpful support and advice.

• 3.The organisation provided impactful one-to-one therapy sessions in the native languages of the clients. Some of them were qualified for one-to-one therapy sessions.

• Our volunteers, project coordinators and professional mental health experts contributed to the impactful program.

The beneficiaries were the elderly, single mums caring for children, and individuals living alone in London. All 211 clients are new to our organisation, where 91.1% identify as female, 8.9% as male, and 8.5% with disabilities.

The programme increased our awareness of the importance of community relations. Elderly and single mums were more likely to be negatively affected by the lockdowns than anyone else. Our work with the local communities has proved how much mental health can make a difference. Befriending programs and giving vulnerable people a voice and a willing ear can affect many individuals' lives.

The Befriending Program was incredibly successful and has made an enormous difference. We provided mental health support for our clients during the most challenging times the world has faced in recent years. Most importantly, we could access, call and check in on the most isolated and vulnerable community members. Some of these clients have severe underlying medical conditions, meaning they were at high risk during the pandemic and strictly had to isolate themselves. Offering them befriending service, we let them know they are not alone. Through these approaches, we have met our objectives very effectively.

One of the main challenges the programme faced was the sickness of some of our volunteers with Covid-19, which was a massive setback for us. One of the significant long-term changes is the contribution that keeps our community close-knit. This development will promote deeper communal bonds that help fight isolation and mental health-related difficulties generated due to feelings of isolation and a lack of community. A workshop followed the programme in person after the lockout ended, where the client found the opportunity to discuss their concerns.

It is well-known in Sudan for patients to travel from town to another seeking necessary medical aid which in some cases the hardship of the journey causes medical conditions for such patients to escalate to emergency level or the death due to unavailability of medical services in the right time. Kafel Aid trustees understand the chronic need for medical professionals such as doctors, nurses and Emergency Care practitioners (ECP) in the rural areas hence we took it upon our shoulder and started, in addition to the Primary health Course we did before, to train 25 of young refugees and from the local community on Nursing vocational training and handed over the basic equipment provide medical support for the community.

There are more than 7000 families of Eritrean Refugees living in Djibouti, most of these families have no means of support and depends on the UNHCR or other national and international charity organizations to provide them with their basic needs. Most of those families’ members are youngsters who did not have the opportunity to attend regular education courses in Eritrea neither in Djibouti, thus they do not have the required skills to join the employment market in the hosting country. Therefore, our aim was to provide these youngsters with the right skills so they can have better chances to find jobs and provide a decent life for themselves and their families.

After completing the training, we gave out 20 units of AC maintenance kits to the beneficiaries to help them start self-employment businesses and benefit society.

Vocational Training Project N U R S I N G ( Y E M E N )

Nursing has been always one of the most important careers around the world and its importance has increased lately due to the current international Pandemic. Yemen has been suffering from constant years of civil war that has destroyed the healthcare system in the entire country. Eritrean refugees in Al-Khokha refugee camp lacked the minimum health care requirements before the war and the situation worsened with the current war. Families in Al-Khokha refugee camp used to send their patients to the nearest villages that might have considerable health care prior to the war, but now these families have no other choice but to suffer without any health care because of the siege that has been imposed by the fighting militias in the past few years.

Therefore, this project aimed to train young Eritrean refugees males and females to ensure that the refugees can have the health care they need when they need it, also to provide these youngsters with a professional career that can enable them to support themselves and their community in the future. With the help of Allah, 20 young Eritrean refugees completed this training and obtained the basic kits to start providing their services to the local needy families.

In 2020, we have organised online training for anger management and the prevention of violence. Poor Anger control is a major problem for those who have been affected by the current pandemic and those around them. It indeed wrecks the enjoyment potential of people's lives, leads to serious relationship break-ups and, in extreme cases, serious criminal offences. In this training, we aimed to increase participants awareness of the importance of controlling and managing one’s anger at such a difficult time. The training covered areas such as:

• The Nature of anger and causes of violence

• Behavioural factors: How can a person understand the factors that lead to anger and the right intervention to minimise such factors.

• Increasing feelings of self-efficacy by building upon Success. Relaxation techniques

The seeds of empathy, caring, and compassion are present from early stages in a person’s life, but that to become caring, ethical people, children need mature and educated adults to help them at every stage of childhood to nurture these seeds into full development. Raising kids is one of the toughest and most fulfilling jobs in the world — and the one for which you might feel the least prepared therefore KFEL Aid organised in March 2021 a very informative workshop for parents to train and build up parenting skills and help them resolve any concerning matters in this regard.

• The main topics and issues this workshop focus on were:

• How to develop caring, loving relationships with kids Being a strong moral role model and mentor

• Making caring for others a priority and setting high ethical expectations How to Expand your child's circle of concern Boosting Your Child's Self-Esteem. etc.

• Be Flexible and Willing to Adjust Your Parenting Style

With the right kind of support, refugees can thrive and give back to the communities that have welcomed them. At a time when 68.5 million people are uprooted around the world, solidarity with refugees is needed more than ever (UNHCR).

Kafel Aid provided training to 11 migrants to improve their IT skills so that they could, by the end of the course, search for decent jobs which will have an impact on their lives. Based on our expectations, the trainee can build up accurate knowledge and skills with proper confidence after completing this course.

No doubt, such training will help integrate migrants into society. In addition, it gives the protection migrants need to be treated with respect and understanding while having the same rights, opportunities and responsibilities as other members of the society.

Language barriers can make migrants feel isolated, hopeless and anti-social and it might even lead to depression. Struggling with speaking and comprehension causes difficulty in making career progress. For this reason, learning a language has been important for Kafel Aid to help provide IELTS courses for migrants and new arrivals free of charge. We helped 24 migrants to take part in such a course which will help them integrate into the job market or continue studying in English speaking countries smoothly. We urge donors to help us in promoting such vital training for it will benefit the migrants and the society where they live.
