Eastern Europe
The collapse of the Soviet Union left generations with limited opportunities. We help the most at-risk to learn job-specific skills, develop their confidence and to find work and change their lives.
Where We Work
Africa
We support young people in Uganda, Kenya and Rwanda who, due to the intergenerational impacts of poverty, Genocide, or HIV/Aids, find themselves excluded from the job market.
Ukraine
We improve the well-being of young people, and support with employment for adults, who are internally displaced and traumatised by the ongoing war in Ukraine.
Dasha’s Story
Dasha and her 2 sons fled her town east of Ukraine when it was invaded by Russian separatists. They now live in Kyiv.
Dasha has a law degree and experience working with a law firm but as she is classed as an Internally Displaced Person she was unable to secure a job. This was until she saw an advert from a Jewish organisation offering sewing repair classes as part of our employment training.
