Our Solutions Solution Impact

Our Solutions

Health facilities have been performing at reduced capacity due to widespread internal violence, and repetitive displacement, as well as recurrent droughts and floods. Our comprehensive solutions address these challenges through sustainable, community-driven approaches.

Mayhem Threads prioritizes equipping refugees, migrants, and asylum seekers with practical skills to foster economic independence. Through vocational training programs, participants learn tailoring, textile design, and garment production, blending traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques.

Social Integration & Cultural Advocacy

Our work fosters community cohesion through collaborative projects that unite diverse groups. Workshops and group activities encourage cross-cultural exchange, peer support, and teamwork, helping refugees integrate into local communities while preserving their identities.
