DO NOT USE (embargoed by head office) Photo: Daniel Wheeler/NRC Description: Ala (22) poses for a portrait. Factual information First name: Ala Age: 22 Current location: Za’atari Refugee Camp, Jordan From: Daraa, Syria. Fled to Jordan in 2012 Occupation: Seamstress at NRC’s youth programme. NRC beneficiary: Yes, Ala received seamstress training as part of NRC’s youth training programme and now works as a seamstress as part of the programme. Interview Ala’s words “I fled Syria in 2012 because of the heavy fighting. I left on foot at 10pm and arrived at the Jordanian border at 6am the next morning. We travelled at night because we were terrified of being attached on the way. There was around 100 of us and many people were injured. When we arrived at the border and were met by the army (Jordanian Army) I felt like a drowning person that had been saved. I felt on edge the entire journey and now I had soldiers telling me ‘You are safe now’, it was all so overwhelming. I live with my five sisters and five brothers. I am the eldest, so I feel responsible for them, and I looked after them during coronavirus. I found out about NRC’s youth programme after doing a four-month sewing scholarship with a different organisation. I became very passionate about sewing so I wanted to continue my training and the programme at NRC seemed perfect. When I started on the programme, I realised that I still had so much to learn, and it was very intensive but rewarding. The programme is delivered in three phases, with the first stages being training and the third phase being an employment opportunity. I live on the other side of the camp and walk an hour each day to get to the centre. It’s a long walk in the desert heat but it’s so worth it. An average day for me is waking up at 6am and after getting ready, I walk to the centre and we started work at 8:30am. At 12:30am we have a lunch break and then we work until 3pm. After I walk back home, I usually have a nap because the work is tiring but very rewarding. When asked what the programme means to her, she replies with: “This opportunity that NRC has given me has provided me with financial independence and an opportunity for success in my life. My father is so proud of me and that is very important to me.” When asked what she wants to do in the future, she says: “In the future, I want to open my own sewing centre for women which has integrity and quality – just like NRC.”

Only 3% of refugee youth have access to tertiary education, compared to 36% of the world’s youth. While a growing number of programmes provide tertiary education opportunities to refugees through scholarships and distance education these are few and with little documentation about processes and outcomes. The partnership between. Arizona State University (ASU) and Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) is a direct response to this need. In August 2018, ASU and NRC signed a Memorandum of Understanding to establish an ASU Earned Admission programme at Ayilo and Nyumanzi refugee camps in Adjumani District, Uganda. The programme provides students with access to online courses through the university’s Global Freshman Academy. 25 South Sudanese and Ugandan learners participated in the programme. 40% are female and the makeup of the group otherwise reflects the importance of working hand-in-hand with the host community.

Khitam, a 54-year-old woman from Syria, lives in one of the biggest refugee settlements in Lebanon, together with more than 1,500 refugees. She is one of seven refugee women cooking meals that are distributed to the refugees living in the settlement. "I work to support myself. My situation is dire and I don’t have anyone else who can provide for me," says Khitam. Thanks to the generosity of our private sponsors, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) was able to provide funding to a local Lebanese organisation, Union of Relief and Development Associations (URDA), that set up a kitchen in a refugee settlement in the Bekaa Valley in eastern Lebanon. URDA employs refugees to cook the food and distribute the meals to thousands of refugees living in tented settlements. Fled from Syria six years ago Six years ago, Khitam fled from Homs in Syria to Lebanon with her husband and children. Her husband died three years later, leaving her alone. "My children have families and are barely able to feed their own children. I could never ask them to provide for me as well," she says. She is happy to be a part of the cooking group in the camp. "Cooking food for other refugees makes me happy and the salary makes me able to support myself. It’s heavy work – we do everything from cutting chicken and boiling rice, to cleaning and preparing food boxes for over 1,000 people." Over 1,500 meals for 300 refugee families In March 2019, NRC supported the preparation of over 1,500 meals for 300 refugee families, the majority of whom were evacuated from their homes after the winter storms. Some of them have still not been able to return to their homes as their tents are being rehabilitated. Khitam and the other women receive a lot of positive feedback from people saying they’re enjoying their food. Through the cooking, the women come together and are able to keep their mind off their current lives as refugees. "Knowing I contribute to put food on the table for other refugee families and to feed their children makes it worth all the hard efforts I put into my cooking,” says Khitam. Credit: Racha El Daoi/NRC

Libanon: Lager mat til flere tusen flyktninger rammet av storm

– Å vite at jeg bidrar til å gi andre flyktninger mat på bordet og sørger for at barna får mat, gjør det verdt å legge ned mye arbeid i matlagingen, sier syriske Khitam. Sammen med Flyktninghjelpen sørger hun for mat til 300 familier som ble rammet av vinterstormene i Libanon.
