Refugees and the host community have received a newly constructed technical training center at Wedwill Refugee in an effort to help provide technical skills to the refugees and host community members who are interested in obtaining skills to run their own livelihood or fend for themselves.<\/p>\n

Speaking at the launch ceremony last week, Norwegian Refugee Council\u2019s area manager for Northern Bahr El Ghazal state, Ms. Mary Gitau, said the request has been a long-overdue request for the host and refugee.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor this TVET Center, it has four classrooms. And we are training our youth, both from the host community and from the refugee community, in different skills, and the skills include masonry, carpentry, bakery, and cosmetics work,\u201d said Gitau.<\/p>\n

The Assistant Commissioner for Refugees\u2019 Affairs, Garang Athian, appreciated the initiative that had been implemented by the implementing organisation, saying the facility will boost the skills of both refugees and the host community.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis marks a significant milestone for the people of the Northern Bahr El Ghazal State as a whole and the refugees for having this important center which paves the way for the refugees and the host community to have the technical skills that will give them practical skills,\u201d Garang noted.<\/p>\n

As Sudan\u2019s conflict is still raging, many refugees have flocked into different parts of the region, with many living in dire conditions in different parts of South Sudan despite the efforts of intervention being rendered by the international aid organisations, including the United Nations agencies.<\/p>\n

Many among the well-off refugees have been receiving support from kith and kin abroad, which paves the way for them to quit refugee life and opt out for a better life outside the camp.<\/p>\n

Some among the refugees still struggle to start businesses for themselves, but reports suggest that more needs to be done to help them stand on their own feet, especially if technical and financial assistance is provided to them to start a business in which they can liberate themselves from the economic bondages or woes they undergo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
