Education

We launched the ''English for Empowerment'' project to help refugees and displaced youth in Goz Beida and N'Djamena overcome language barriers that were holding them back from jobs and education. I noticed that many language programs didn’t really prepare people for real-life situations, so I created a three-level curriculum that combined basic English with practical, job-related training. For example, one module focused on customer service conversations for people aiming to work in hospitality, which is a growing local industry. We teamed up with the Happiness Center to offer internships to our graduates, and within just three months, 40% of them had found jobs. After the program, 90% of participants said they felt much more confident using English at work.
