Scouting for Refugees and Migrant Communities
As crises become protracted, refugees residing in cities often face asset depletion and rising debt levels. Opportunities for income generation are typically unstable and unpredictable, with families facing indebtedness to cover the cost of shelter.
The project generally seeks to increase the capacity of households and individuals to provide for themselves by protecting and enhancing their income, skills, and assets in ways that support their priorities and goals while recruiting scouts.

The Project is being implemented in Dowa District Malawi, where it targets Refugees based at the Refugees Camp in Dzaleka
1. Increase in Membership (Growth) of the Movement
2. More livelihood initiatives created by the Community members of the Dzaleka Refugee Camp.
3. There has been an increase in awareness amongst the community members on issues that affect their lives.
4. Community families have identified needs to support their children in education.
5. Most community members are keen to send their children to Scout activities for moral upbringing
There is a substantial understanding of people of different ethnicity living together from different background and culture, the mind of coexistence is being upheld hence people understand the need to live together in the same community and supporting one another. Since the camp has different ethnic groups, the local community inhabitants that surrounds the Dzaleka Refugees have co opted and integrated the refugees in the local community and now all are living in harmony not as strangers.
