Where we operate

Omid works to:

Support

We give lasting, compassionate support to the recently displaced people to develop self-sufficient integration into their new communities.

Mentor

We empower them in the transition back to work. We provide training in English language, computing and other employability skills to give them a sense of purpose and support them to become self-sufficient.

Provide Employment Opportunities

Why are we doing this?  We believe that providing employment opportunities helps to eradicate poverty and social exclusion on a long-term basis. Employment enables individuals to improve their whole family’s standard of living, to meet and connect with others, creating a sense of purpose and improving social cohesion and mental wellbeing. The interactions that occur between employees can result in improving social support, trust, and health.

 

How are we doing this? We utilise our unique resources and partnerships to help recently displaced families, developing lasting support networks which encourage self-sufficient integration into communities.
