Employment and economic independence are essential for restoring dignity, reducing poverty, and promoting long-term self-reliance.<\/p><p>Unfortunately, many refugees with disabilities face significant barriers to securing employment and generating income. These barriers include discrimination, limited access to education and vocational training, inaccessible workplaces, financial exclusion, lack of business capital, language barriers, and restricted livelihood opportunities.<\/p><p>TESFA&#8217;s Livelihood &amp; Economic Empowerment Program is designed to equip refugees with disabilities with the knowledge, skills, resources, and opportunities needed to become economically independent. Through vocational training, entrepreneurship development, employment support, financial literacy, and partnerships with employers and development organizations, TESFA helps members build sustainable livelihoods and improve their quality of life.<\/p><p>Our vision is to empower every refugee with a disability to become productive, financially independent, and actively engaged in economic development.<\/p><h4><span style=\"color: #333399;\">Background<\/span><\/h4><p>Economic empowerment is one of the most effective ways to improve the lives of refugees with disabilities. While humanitarian assistance provides immediate relief, sustainable livelihoods enable individuals to support themselves and their families with dignity.<\/p><p>Many refugees with disabilities possess valuable talents and skills but remain unemployed because of social stigma, inaccessible work environments, limited vocational opportunities, and lack of financial resources. Women, youth, and older persons with disabilities often face additional barriers.<\/p><p>TESFA addresses these challenges by promoting inclusive employment, entrepreneurship, vocational skills, financial inclusion, and access to markets, while advocating for equal employment opportunities.<\/p><p>\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div
