, and for Dzaleka
We are deeply grateful to Jesuit Worldwide Learning - Higher Education at the Margins Association (JWL) and for taking the time to visit and listen to the story, work, challenges, and vision of Dzaleka HOME BASED CARE.
congratulated our team and especially encouraged our and , Ngoy Mbeshe Felly, who is pursuing a in (CLS) at JWL, together with Felyster Kalon, our Secretary and Program Manager, who is also a JWL student.
During the interview, Ngoy shared the painful reality of su***de in Dzaleka, including the recent loss of a young girl who was 14 years old. He highlighted that the community continues to lose lives to su***de, often because of unseen wounds carried for a long time, while access to mental health education, psychosocial support, and awareness campaigns remains limited.
Ngoy appealed to JWL to consider introducing -related learning opportunities, particularly in support, , , and skills. Such courses could equip young refugees with practical knowledge to support their families and communities and respond to some of the health challenges affecting Dzaleka.
He also called for partnership and collaboration between JWL and Dzaleka HOME BASED CARE, believing that working together can strengthen our capacity, expand our services, empower young people, and help DHBC grow sustainably.
We believe education should not only open doors for individuals—it should also become a bridge to healthier, stronger, and more resilient communities.
Thank you, Father Evaristus and Jesuit Worldwide Learning, for listening, encouraging, and believing in the potential of refugee learners and refugee-led organizations. 🙏🏽
