Founded in 2015 and legalized in 2016 under the Ministry of Labor, Social Security, and Services, USEC is driven by passionate young refugees committed to building a safe and prosperous future for their communities. We focus on Education, Protection, Livelihoods, and Climate Action, addressing urgent needs while fostering resilience and empowerment. Mission: To empower young refugees and their communities through livelihoods, protection, and environmental sustainability, creating a safe and prosperous future for all. Vision: A world where refugees and marginalized communities access quality education, sustainable livelihoods, and safe environments to thrive and contribute positively to society. Objectives • Education: Promote inclusive, quality learning opportunities for all. • Protection: Strengthen child protection, GBV, and SRH systems to prevent abuse and exploitation. • Livelihoods: Build economic resilience through skills training, entrepreneurship, and access to resources. Our Programs • Protection: We prevent and respond to child abuse, exploitation, and GBV, while promoting adolescent SRH through education, awareness, and referrals. By engaging parents, youth, and leaders, we create safe spaces, provide life-saving information, and ensure survivors have access to care and support. • Education: We support school enrollment, distribute learning materials, and promote positive parenting. Through play-based after-school activities and Social Emotional Learning (SEL), children gain confidence, resilience, and teamwork skills. We also advocate for inclusive education so every child has a chance to learn and thrive. • Livelihoods: We empower teenage mothers and vulnerable women with vocational and entrepreneurship training in business planning, financial literacy, and marketing.
