Education Program

Engineers4Humanity provides formal education and vocational skills development scholarships to young refugees in various trades.

Equipping them with practical skills empowers them to find jobs and become financially independent.

In the African refugee camps- Rwanda, we are dedicated to fostering growth and opportunity by offering high school and university scholarships focused on STEM fields.

By collaborating with partner organizations and government of Rwanda, we provide valuable vocational training for refugee youth, equipping them with the essential skills for success in the job market. This approach not only enhances their individual prospects but also benefits their communities.

In the USA, our program aggressively targets partnerships with government agencies, academic institutions, universities, the City ISD, and refugee resettlement agencies to ensure that refugee youth receive the education they deserve.

We actively conduct community outreach campaigns, engage directly with youth, and offer mentorship and career guidance to empower them with essential information about scholarships and universities.

We assert that an educated community is crucial for advancing national development and integrating successfully into American society. Education serves as a powerful catalyst for change, driving progress and making a significant impact both locally and globally.

Engineers4Humanity Institute

Responding to the scarcity of jobs, the unemployment issue among refugee /immigrant youth, and the gap between industry and skilled labor, we observed that it is necessary to establish career paths for young people and those who need to change careers or upgrade their skills to meet the labor market's needs.

The Engineers4Humanity Institute is an e-learning platform that will serve as a skill development, research, and innovation hub, providing affordable, accessible education to vulnerable youth, primarily refugees worldwide.

This Institute serves as a center of excellence and a career-path program that helps refugees, Immigrants, and vulnerable youth acquire the tools and skills needed to break the cycle of poverty and become self-reliant.

We are committed to collaborating with career development centers, the construction industry, academia, the private sector, and the government to transform refugee youth and immigrants into a highly skilled, competitive workforce that excels globally and contributes positively to national development

Our collaborative partnerships with the USA, the African Union, and regional organizations such as SADC and EAC are essential in our pursuit of an Africa we want that is free from discrimination and violence.
