Challenge

Single mothers in Kakuma Refugee Camp face extreme economic vulnerability, compounded by limited access to skills training, market opportunities, and support for balancing caregiving responsibilities with other priorities. 

Solution

SIR will provide comprehensive training in garment-making, digital literacy, and business development, paired with mentorship, e-commerce market access, and childcare support, to empower single refugee mothers to become entrepreneurs. 

Impact

60 single mothers gain practical skills and income generation opportunities, indirectly supporting more than 500 community members through improved economic resilience and well-being.
