The Challenge

Grassroots communities in refugee camps, host areas, and urban slums face unemployment, trauma, and a lack of livelihood opportunities. In places like Kakuma Refugee Camp (home to over 250,000 displaced people) and urban slums, shrinking international support (e.g. USAID) and systemic neglect trap families in cycles of poverty and dependency, thus shattering their dreams. Refugees cannot return home due to the ongoing conflict in their countries of origin.  Slum dwellers, with no other place to belong, are locked in daily struggles for survival. In both contexts, able-bodied men, women, and youth are left without dignity or pathways to a better future.

CTC Africa walks alongside vulnerable communities to break these cycles by equipping them with transferable skills and holistic support:

Transferable Skills Training– practical entrepreneurship, financial literacy, and vocational skills to enable families to generate sustainable incomes.

Psychosocial Support & Trauma Healing – creating safe spaces for women and youth to process pain, rebuild dignity, and foster resilience.

Faith-Based Discipleship – integrating spiritual formation that nurtures hope, character, and leadership.

We aim to build the capacity of refugee and slum families to become financially capable, emotionally resilient, and spiritually anchored — able to improve their livelihoods despite the challenges they face.

Impact

• Refugee women launching small businesses and sustaining their households.
• Youth are gaining confidence, skills, and leadership to shape their future.
• Families breaking dependency and moving toward self-determination.
