OUR PROGRAMS

Drug Rehabilitation Services

YCI’s drug rehabilitation program addresses the growing issue of substance abuse among urban refugee youth in Kampala. Through a structured approach that combines individual and group counseling, peer support, psychosocial interventions, and community outreach, the program helps young people break free from addiction and regain control of their lives.

Adult education in English and Computer Skills

Recognizing that language and digital literacy are critical for integration and access to opportunities, YCI offers adult education programs in English language and basic computer skills. These classes are designed for refugee youth and adults who have missed formal education opportunities due to displacement.

Vocational Skills Training

To combat high unemployment among refugee youth, YCI provides vocational skills training tailored to market demands. Participants are equipped with practical skills in areas such a tailoring, carpentry, hairdressing, Plumbing, Welding, and craft-making, among others. The training emphasizes hands-on learning, entrepreneurship, and financial literacy, enabling graduates to either secure jobs or start their own small businesses.
