The Horn of Africa Relief Development Agency (HARDA) has been running a successful employment training program for a number of years. Each year Jobs for African Migrants Program (JAMP) provides a series of workshops to help develop skills with one-on-one mentoring and group support. The program is aimed at maximising participants' chances of getting jobs that will provide families in vulnerable communities with both much-needed income as well as independence and pride. Most JAMP participants are women who have been successful in finding work. JAMP is supported by the Australian Government.

New Land, New Life, tells the inspiring firsthand stories of five refugees from the Horn of Africa who've settled in Australia and made a new life in a new land for themselves.

HARDA runs regular swimming programs for children from our Horn of Africa communities - Ethiopia, South Sudan, Somalia, etc - and after a number of years many of these kids have achieved their bronze medallions and are taking over the role of swimming instructors and teaching the smaller kids. Part of the programs include visits to the beach since many of the kids live in Sydney's west far from the coast and have had little or no experience playing in the surf. To find out more and support these programs, go to www.harda.org.au

This gives a snapshot of the employment program HARDA has been running annually to help refugees and migrants especially women, from Horn of Africa countries like South Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia find work. here in Australia. Read the Sydney Morning Herald's article on this. For many it represents their first ever job here. Many struggle with literacy and technology and so the training requires constant one-on-one work. But the results are amazing!

This is a great story about how Sudanese Australians can mobilise effectively to support South Sudan as it continues to struggle with conflict 10 years into its independence.

Congratulations to Fiona Carr whose tireless work for HARDA was recognised by Inner West Council last night. She was one of 18 volunteers to receive awards. Her efforts have been crucial in making our flagship employment program JAMP so successful.
