With the increasing influx of new arrivals in Kiryandongo, the need for humanitarian aid is on the rise. As a Refugee-Led Organization (RLO) in the region, SSWBA is actively responding to the urgent needs of refugees from Sudan in multiple ways: Vocational Training: We have opened our doors to admit refugees into our ongoing vocational training programs, empowering them with skills to rebuild their lives. Peace Makers Groups: To foster harmony, we've initiated peace makers groups that engage in conflict resolution and community cohesion between the new arrivals themselves and the established refugees from other regions/countries. Referrals for Cash Assistance: Through our partnership with the Uganda Cash Consortium, we're making referrals to ensure that those in urgent financial need receive cash assistance. Information Sharing (ICLA Project): We are providing critical information to new arrivals under the ICLA project, helping them navigate available services and support systems., These includes information, Counseling and Legal Assistances, under this we work closely with Uganda registration Services Bureau to ensure that those intending to start their businesses are legally registered, with National Identification and Registration Authority to ensure registration of Marriages, Birth, death among others, in this project we have hired 3 refugees all from Sudan, these are well educated fellows, among them is one who has a master in International law formally a university lecturer in Khartoum. MHPSS Counseling: Our mental health and psychosocial support (MHPSS) services continue at our safe spaces, reception center, and office premises, offering a safe environment for trauma healing and recovery ensuring the new arrivals and other refugees are integrated onto the community to feel at home. Together, we can support the most vulnerable and help them through this challenging period.
