Our Programmes

Three connected areas from learning to livelihood

EFFO’s programmes are organised around three connected areas of work that support the journey from learning to livelihood. They are designed for displaced populations and vulnerable host communities, with particular attention to children, adolescents, and young people facing structural barriers.

Learning Environments

We improve the spaces where children learn through classroom construction, rehabilitation, school WASH, and other basic school infrastructure that supports safe and effective education.

  • Classroom construction in underserved areas
  • Rehabilitation of existing school buildings
  • Provision of desks & classroom furniture
  • Solar lighting where electricity is limited
  • Gender-sensitive school WASH facilities
  • Handwashing stations & safe water access

Future-Ready Education

We support quality learning through accelerated education, remedial support, digital learning, mentorship, and transition-oriented education that prepares children and youth for the future.

  • Accelerated learning for over-age children
  • Remedial & after-school learning support
  • Digital learning opportunities & ICT exposure
  • Career awareness & mentorship
  • Teacher support & instructional improvement
  • Bridging support for tertiary readiness

Youth Transition Pathways

We help youth move into economic participation through skills development, apprenticeships, entrepreneurship support, and second-chance opportunities for those outside formal education.

  • Market-informed skills training
  • Apprenticeship & work-based learning
  • Work-readiness & employability support
  • Entrepreneurship & microenterprise coaching
  • Second-chance pathways for out-of-school youth
  • Follow-up support for income stability
