Guided by Caritas Nigeria’s strategic focus on delivering durable housing solutions, livelihood support, and integrated services for displaced populations, the Citi Foundation-funded Integrative Solutions for Humanitarian Housing Support Project successfully implemented vocational skills training for beneficiaries in Sabon Pegi, Wuro Jebbe, Otuaba, and Otueke communities across Yola South and Ogbia LGAs in Adamawa and Bayelsa States.
The initiative equipped 150 beneficiaries—comprising 120 women and 30 men—with vocational training in five trades: liquid soap production, cap making, shoemaking, knitting, and catering/food processing.
Beyond imparting practical skills, the programme responds to key protection challenges affecting displaced persons and forced migrants. Reducing economic dependency, it helps lower exposure to risks such as exploitation, gender-based violence, and unsafe migration while fostering self-reliance and social inclusion.
Through this intervention, Caritas Nigeria continues to restore dignity, strengthen livelihoods, and promote long-term resilience among displaced populations and their host communities.
