Executive Summary:

In order to help the refugees in securing a supportive- or main- source of income-generation, they will be provided with access to multiple learning options that are available online and offline to attain two main objectives ; i) to expand their knowledge in the available online learning opportunities and the available markets, and ii) to be able to start up/ expand businesses and eventually earn an income. The unique added value this project is presenting is the non-traditional skills trainings that are not so common in the refugee camp context.
