Why It Matters
Youth and women in marginalized communities — especially refugees, single mothers, and unemployed young people — often face limited access to income, training, and capital. Without support, they remain dependent and vulnerable.
At GOFRIL Foundation, we believe that when women and youth are economically empowered, entire families and communities thrive. This program helps build sustainable livelihoods, foster entrepreneurship, and promote long-term resilience.
