Self-Sustainable Initiatives Help Refugees Contribute to Economic Prosperity in their Host Countries

Refugees are forced to leave their homes because of war, conflict, and persecution. Often receiving no protection from their own state or government, they are forced to flee to seek asylum in other countries. Beginning life as refugees in a foreign land, they often find themselves in an extremely vulnerable position.

To support and increase self – sustainability of refugees in host countries, UNHCR and its partners implement different programs on self- sustainability, including vocational trainings, mini-grant programs and other programs.
