Our Vision

To develop a community of refugees that will be financially stable to build their future life and create their own destinies.

Our Mission

To empower refugees to be able to create a viable, profitable, sustainable, and fair living that will position them as actors in developing a more equitable and healthier society in the refugee camp.

Our Goal

To provide refugees with a learning platform that will equip them with digital and business skills to be able to work remotely or build their own businesses.

Shaping Resilient Futures

AReL's Commitment to Refugee Empowerment

Join us on our journey as we champion the cause of refugees, offering robust training, job placement opportunities, and entrepreneurship programs, to build a future of autonomy and sustainability.

Outcomes

Trained & Work Ready

AReL's comprehensive training program prepares refugees for the workforce, focusing on key areas like digital marketing, web development, data analytics, and basic business knowledge. Our curriculum fosters competence and confidence, promoting self-reliance and opening up new opportunities.

Hired for Work

AReL acts as a conduit between refugees — both those trained through our programs and those holding bachelor's degrees — and global organizations seeking digital expertise. We connect refugees with remote work opportunities and assist in placing them in roles that suit their skills and qualifications, working relentlessly towards their economic independence.

Entrepreneurship

The entrepreneurial spirit is central to AReL's mission. We support refugees in starting or scaling their businesses, equipping them with valuable skills for the digital and business sectors. These future entrepreneurs, through earnings from jobs secured via our programs, will showcase our commitment to self-reliance and economic independence.
