About
SIR (Sudanese Initiative for Refugees) is a prominent refugee-led organization operating in Sudan. Their vision is to create a world where refugees, despite the challenges they face, have the opportunity to lead. Based in Sudan, SIR focuses on empowering refugees and local youth through digital skills and economic opportunities. Their initiatives include: Classroom Building: SIR actively engages in constructing classrooms within refugee camps, including the Kakuma Refugee Camp. These spaces provide essential education and skills training for displaced individuals. Women Empowerment: SIR recognizes the unique challenges faced by women in refugee settings. They work to empower women by providing education, vocational training, and support networks. This includes programs related to health, reproductive rights, and economic independence. Digitalization Courses: SIR leverages technology to deliver educational opportunities. They offer digital literacy courses, equipping refugees with essential skills for the modern world. These courses cover topics such as basic computer skills, online communication, and digital entrepreneurship. Through their tireless efforts, SIR contributes to building resilient communities, fostering self-reliance, and bridging the digital divide for refugees in Sudan1. Additionally, UNHCR has partnered with Microsoft to support connected education programs in Kakuma Refugee Camp, emphasizing digital skills and literacy for young women and men2. The impact of these initiatives extends beyond borders, empowering individuals like Rozeta Achan, who advocates for women’s health and education in Kakuma3.
