We visited Kalobeyei to monitor the progress of one of our local beneficiary, a Community-Based Organization (CBO) Kalobeyei Initiative for Better Life (KI4BLI) that has greatly benefited from our localization program. This CBO has been implementing a transformative initiative aimed at strengthening self-reliance among refugee youth by enhancing their employability and entrepreneurial skills. Through this initiative, refugee youth are gaining access to specialized digital skills and entrepreneurship training, enabling them to navigate the modern job market and create sustainable businesses. The CBO has established a digital hub that serves as a training center, empowering youth to unlock new opportunities in the digital economy. This partnership is a key pillar of our localization efforts, which focus on equipping local organizations to drive impactful change in their communities.

Today marks 500 days of war in Sudan. Despite causing the world’s biggest displacement crisis, media attention is lacking. The humanitarian response is dangerously underfunded. Aid continues to be difficult to distribute. Let us repeat: We won't let the world forget about Sudan.
