BACKGROUND INFORMATION

RefuSHE was established in 2008 as the first and only organization in Kenya devoted to protecting and empowering urban, unaccompanied, and separated refugee children and youth, especially girls, young women, and their children, living in Nairobi, Kenya. Our holistic model provides opportunities for refugee girls to access their human rights, experience economic success, build transferable skills, and become leaders in their own communities.

COVID-19 heightened the economic vulnerability of refugee women and girls. Moreover, the suspension of educational activities in 2020-2021 increased the likelihood that refugee young women and girls would drop out of school and become vulnerable to child labour, child marriage, and other forms of exploitation. In response, RefuSHE has worked with partners to create a virtual learning platform tailored specifically to the needs of refugee women and girls in the community. Our goal, through our eLearning Platform-SHElearns is to provide vocational skills for income-generation, entrepreneurship skills to start or strengthen their business and self-employment initiatives, as well as offer mental health support.

We are continuously tailoring our content to suit our population of users to make the platform engaging and useful to Nairobi’s women refugee community. Our innovative e-learning and wellness platform will enable us to reach refugee women and girls in the community that are not currently served by RefuSHE with services to enhance their livelihoods and wellbeing.

· The content should consider the development of creativity and innovation skills as well as entrepreneurship.

· Work with the Subject Matter Expert and RefuSHE team to understand the developed content and to instructionally design the content into storyboards to meet the agreed learning objectives.
