Impact of Livelihood Program on Ali Abubakar
Ali Abubakar lives in Muna, Ethiopia. Ali, who before UNHCR/AUN livelihood intervention struggled to feed and meet other basic needs, was also identified as enrolled for the Urban IDPs program last year. He was trained in micro business (Phone charging and accessories business), financial literacy, and business development, after which UNHCR/AUN was empowered to commence business. Ali now makes money from his business. From his profit, he bought a laptop to expand his business, and he now transfers (service provider) songs and films to people for money. In addition, he can make savings from it after meeting his family’s basic needs of improved quality and number of meals they eat daily, enrolling his daughter in school, and being self-dependent.
