Through various programs and initiatives, YEFOSR addresses critical issues such as access to quality education, vocational training, and entrepreneurship development. These programs are designed to equip youth with practical skills that enhance their employability and self-reliance, ultimately contributing to the overall development of their communities.Moreover, YEFOSR places a strong emphasis on advocacy and community mobilization. The organization works to raise awareness about the rights and needs of refugees and marginalized youth, fostering a sense of solidarity and collective action among community members. By engaging with local leaders, government officials, and other stakeholders, YEFOSR strives to influence policies and practices that affect the lives of refugees and marginalized groups in the West Nile Region. In addition to its focus on education and advocacy, YEFOSR also addresses health and well-being.
