The HOME (Harnessing Opportunities for Meaningful Employment) Project aims to reduce irregular migration from Ogun State to the UK by empowering 200 vulnerable individuals with economic resilience and self-sufficiency skills at the pilot phase of the intervention.
By identifying migration drivers and enablers, this project informs the design and delivery of interventions that create alternative pathways.
The objective of the HOME Project in mind, is to reduce the number of individuals who choose to migrate via irregular means to the UK or involve in visa misuse while in the UK. Also, to reach those who are at risk of becoming victims of trafficking in the quest for an economic breakthrough.
The economic empowerment will offer opportunities to Target Audience aged 18-40 to learn and enhance skills across sectors of Agriculture, Fashion and Textile Industries, Business Development, Digital skills, Mentoring and Soft skills as well as loans, grants, start-ups, internship placement and access to numerous local employment and entrepreneurial opportunities.
The project will run from November 2024 - February 2025.
We appreciate the sponsor of this intervention for thinking through this and choosing to work with us.
