Breaking the Cycle of Poverty: Kilan’s Journey with the Ultra-Poor Graduation project - Long version

Kilan, a youth from Luapula Province, Zambia, is among the many beneficiaries of World Vision Zambia’s Ultra-Poor Graduation (UPG) project. This transformative initiative is designed to uplift refugees, former refugees, and communities outside refugee settlements, empowering them to achieve self-sufficiency. 

Funded by the United States Department of State through the Bureau of Population, Refugees, and Migration (BPRM), the project emphasizes mindset change, capacity building, and economic empowerment. 

By targeting the most vulnerable households, the UPG project is creating pathways out of poverty and fostering sustainable livelihoods, offering hope and opportunities to those who need it mos
