FORGE Programs: A Three-Pronged Approach

FORGE believes that individuals should be able to pursue their personal goals, whether they be for the benefit of their community, entrepreneurial, and/or educational. Our programs allow donors to make a direct investment in individuals in one of these three critical areas:

FORGE Community Solutions (FCS):

FORGE Community Solutions facilitates local development solutions by allowing change and development to arise from within a community. We train refugee leaders to design, develop, and implement community development projects that address specific, identified needs.

FORGE Microfinance Institute (FMI):

The FORGE Microfinance Institute enables economic self-sufficiency by providing small loans and intensive business training to refugees.

FORGE Education Fund (FEF):

The FORGE Education Fund increases educational attainment by offering scholarships for secondary and post-secondary school, and by providing tutoring and academic guidance.
