We don’t just train people, we stay until they’re confident enough to lead. 💙
At our Rafiki Eco-Harvest demonstration sites, community members are learning fish farming as a real, income-generating business. Hands in the water, questions asked freely, skills built day by day.
Some came not knowing where to start. Now they’re running their own ponds.
That’s the Rafiki way and we couldn’t be prouder.

Big gratitude to everyone who made last week's 3-day HROC workshop in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement impactful and full of heart!

RYFI, together with representatives from HROC DRC and the Kindred Credit Union Centre for Peace Advancement, held space for stories, healing, and shared growth.

The energy of the room reminded us: healing is not just possible — it’s happening.

We're building more than just skills.
We're building confidence, creativity, and new beginnings.
Through the Rafiki SkillRoots Program, a free hairdressing training with no age limits, community members are gaining hands-on experience that can open real doors.
From clippers to courage, this is how change starts.

Last Saturday we came together for a powerful Community Engagement Dialogue hosted by AFID alongside our partners in the Relive-i Consortium

It was an open space for listening, sharing ideas and strengthening our commitment to serve the community better

We are grateful for everyone who showed up ready to learn, collaborate and put people at the center of everything we do

On June 20th, we proudly joined the global celebration of World Refugee Day at Rwamwanja Stadium — a joyful day of community, hope, and action.

With several officials in attendance, Rafiki Youth for Future Innovation (RYFI) showcased youth-led projects under Rafiki SkillRoots and Rafiki ECO-HARVEST.

From offering free haircuts, pedicures, and manicures to sharing fresh agricultural products made by youth — we honored resilience and innovation.
