Why this work matters

Many refugee and host-community families face food insecurity, poverty, and limited livelihood options.

Relief and livelihood support helps meet immediate needs while creating pathways toward household resilience.

What we’re working toward

  • Support extremely poor families with food and non-food assistance when possible.
  • Strengthen household resilience through practical livelihood inputs.
  • Prioritize widows, single mothers, and highly vulnerable households.

What this looks like

  • Food and non-food assistance
  • Livelihood support for vulnerable households
  • Goat support for refugee widows and single mothers through partner support

Who it’s for

Extremely poor refugee and host-community families, including widows and single mothers.

The difference it makes

  • 90 refugee widows and single mothers were supported with female goats through HOPE EV partner support.
  • Families receive practical assistance designed to protect dignity and build resilience.

Looking ahead

Livelihood support is intended to move beyond one-time relief by helping families develop assets and practical resources for daily survival.
