The Young African Refugees for Integral Development's "Women Empowerment Project," is the winner of the 2016 Ockenden Prize. The Uganda-based project "teaches English, business skills, tailoring and handcraft to female refugees, asylum seekers and Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) to help overcome deprivation and vulnerability to become healthy, educated, self-sustaining and contributing members of society."
