Meanwhile Kato Freeman from the ministry of Gender Labour and social economic development said their scope targets the vulnerable people.
 
“We are looking at the most vulnerable children and teenage mothers who are much affected as we want to restore hope and future in their lives,” he said.
     
On the current status of the refugees, they are transitioning from emergency to resilience.
 
Andrew Cohen the UNHCR representative present in the function said that, they don’t want to see that life of a beneficiary is going back looking at the population for such opportunities,” he said.

Luwal Generous, program manager save the children said their focus was basically to skill the teenage mothers.
 
“As you can see, they are all having babies, so we were looking at empowering and skilling such groups,” she said.
