There is a notable lack of employment opportunities for refugees - specifically for women, as they tend to receive less education and may be less proficient in English. Women are predominantly the primary caretakers of children, leaving them with little time to seek gainful employment in a foreign country.
S O L U T I O N
Overcoming these employment barriers by holding workshops which bring refugee women together with local designers to create and sell jewelry. The skills the women will learn from this process enables them to gain confidence; and the revenue generated will give them financial independence.
