Protect Religious Freedoms (FoRB)
Sensitize local security networks and community leaders to respect and protect citizens' right to freedom of religion and belief.
Empower Women & Youth
Provide vocational skills, drug-abuse awareness, and capacity-building programs to reduce vulnerability and foster social inclusion.
