Hilton Foundation https://www.hiltonfoundation.org/work/our-initiatives/refugees/ as a (PI) and led the Youth Livelihood Empowerment Initiative (YLEI) in Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement, a project aimed at equipping 150 refugee and host-community youth with hands-on vocational skills such as tailoring, carpentry, hairdressing, and agribusiness.
