Pillar 02 · Education
Skills first, then — for those ready — university.
Education, for the association, means one thing above all: independence. Refugees are trained in professional skills so they can run their own economic activities and support their own lives — not remain dependent indefinitely.
For members who show more capacity, ability or potential, the association goes a step further, offering financial support to continue studies at university, rather than stopping at vocational college.
Two tracks
Professional training for independence — university for potential.
Professional & vocational training
Practical skills — the kind that translate directly into a salon chair, a tailoring table, or a barbershop of one's own. Training costs for members already enrolled in professional programs have been covered through association support.
University sponsorship
Members who demonstrate strong capability are not left to stop at college level. Where possible, the association helps them further their studies at university — investing in refugees whose potential reaches beyond a single trade.
Where the funding comes from
Recycled paper, real tuition.
A meaningful share of education support has been made possible through the waste paper project run with UNHCR: children have received school items, youth have received start-up kits, and members in professional training have had their course costs covered.
