YARID

We are a refugee-led organization founded in 2007. 

In 2007, YARID started with 3 young African refugees, 

1 soccer ball, and a passion to be their own solution.

We are Young African Refugees for Integral Development (YARID). 

For the last 15 years, our work remains centered on community-driven solutions to build up our fellow refugees on a resilient path.

Our core programs support women and youth to learn new skills and start businesses, meet urgent and basic protection needs of refugee families, prepare people to apply for jobs, teach English, equip the next generation with digital skills through ICT training, and support refugee children to gain quality education. Every year, YARID directly serves over 8,000 individuals across Uganda.

At YARID, we believe refugees lead the way in creating solutions to sustain livelihoods and build cohesive communities.
