Empowering Potential. Transforming Lives.
From Skills to Income

Supporting Young People and Women in
South Sudan to Gain Skills, Earn and Thrive.

Luckista Unite works alongside youth, women, displaced people, and host communities across South Sudan to turn ability into opportunity: connecting practical skills with the finance, markets and support people need to build a sustainable income and a dignified future.

The Skills to Income Pathway

The Skills to Income Pathway connects four reinforcing pieces: skills, enterprise, financial inclusion, and lasting partnerships so potential turns into income that lasts beyond the length of a single programme.

1

Skills & Enterprise

Market-matched vocational and business training, plus mentorship and direct links to employers and buyers. We give people the skills to make something worth selling and the connections to sell it.

2

Financial Inclusion

Village Savings and Loan Associations give people a safe, community-run way to save, borrow and build capital together, often for the first time. Financial literacy training helps them turn irregular income into money they can plan, save and reinvest.

3

Resilient Livelihoods

One bad season of drought, flood or hunger can wipe out years of progress. Climate-smart agriculture, food security support, and cash and voucher assistance protect what people have built, so a shock becomes a setback rather than a reset.

4

Partnership & Systems

We build community ownership from the start and partner with United Nations Agencies, non-governmental organizations, government, and the private sector to connect people to finance and markets that no single organization can open alone.

Ability Isn’t the Barrier.

The Goal We are Building Toward.

Numbers only mean something when they’re tied to a real target and a real deadline so here’s ours, plainly stated.

50000

youth and women reached with skills, financial inclusion or livelihood support by 2036.

70%

2022

Founded in 2022 by former refugees and returnees, Luckista Unite built the Skills to Income Pathway from firsthand experience.

Join the work

Your support can turn one person’s skill into something that outlasts the programme that started it. Whether you’re supporting from South Sudan or from abroad, you’re funding a specific piece of the pathway: a training cohort, a market connection that opens a door someone couldn’t open alone.

She started with one skill and the will to survive.

With the right support: training, a savings group, a connection to the market that skill became income. That income became stability. And that stability became something bigger: the ability to plan for tomorrow, not just get through today.
