We advocate for tree planting and the use of economic stoves, as trees play a crucial role in fighting climate change, preserving biodiversity, and improving the beauty of our communities.

Mental Health & Psychosocial support
At NELHIN, we provide well-organized psychosocial support including counselling services and mental health education to orphans and separated children, both in schools and out of school together with their caregivers. In addition, we promote sports engagements because we understand their significant positive impact in improving educational attainment, development of important skills, overall well-being, and bettering prospects of youth. By engaging youth in sports, we contribute to accelerating global development and peace efforts.
4. Women empowerment & Child care
our interventions promote gender equality and child protection in refugee settings by empowering women economically, socially, and politically; ensuring access to safe, quality childcare and education; strengthening families’ capacity to provide nurturing care; and addressing gender-based violence and harmful practices to create a protective, equitable environment for all.
Women empowerment
Activities include vocational and business skills training, forming women-led savings groups, providing cash grants and market access, establishing safe spaces and peer support networks, offering legal aid and GBV response services, promoting women's leadership in camp governance, and delivering gender-sensitive health, nutrition, and childcare support.
Childcare
Activities include establishing safe, supervised child‑friendly spaces; providing early childhood care and education; training caregivers on positive parenting and child protection; identifying and referring at‑risk children; offering psychosocial first aid; and strengthening community‑based child protection systems and referral pathways.
Theory of change
NELHIN’s approach is built on the idea that lasting change requires coordinated efforts across four key areas. The organization works to break the cycle of poverty for refugees, host populations, and disadvantaged youth by advancing economic opportunity, environmental restoration, health access, and women’s empowerment at the same time. This integrated strategy creates a multiplier effect: new skills open doors to employment, community-led conservation strengthens local ecosystems, and improved health and protection services increase safety and wellness. These combined results strengthen both personal capacity and community endurance, leading to fairer, more resilient, and self-sustaining societies where everyone has the opportunity to prosper.
