Advancing Equality and Empowerment
Promoting safety, inclusion, peaceful coexistence, and psychosocial well-being within refugee and host communities.
Strengthening Protection and Peaceful Coexistence
Protection and social cohesion are essential for stable and resilient communities. Our Protection & Community Cohesion Program focuses on safeguarding vulnerable individuals, promoting human rights, and strengthening peaceful relationships among diverse community members.
Refugee and host communities often face challenges related to conflict, discrimination, psychosocial stress, and exclusion of vulnerable groups. Alight of Africa works to address these challenges through protection-focused interventions, peacebuilding initiatives, and inclusive community engagement.
