Empowering Refugee Children in Kakuma
In the heart of Kakuma Refugee Camp, where poverty levels are high and opportunities are scarce, a powerful initiative is underway to transform the lives of vulnerable children through education. Led by Joel and his dedicated team, this project is focused on providing quality education to both refugee and host community children—many of whom are orphans and have faced unimaginable hardships.
Currently, 60 children are being taught in shifts due to the overwhelming demand and a severe shortage of classroom space. Despite the difficult conditions, these children show an incredible passion for learning, and the educators remain committed to nurturing their dreams.
However, the need is urgent. The project requires immediate funding to provide school essentials such as books, stationery, and school bags, which are crucial for effective learning. Many children come to class hungry, making daily nourishment a priority to support their focus and well-being. Additionally, there is a critical need for proper infrastructure, including the construction of a permanent Peace School. In this safe, stable, and inspiring space, children can learn, grow, and build a brighter future.
This project is more than just about education—it’s about empowerment, hope, and preparing a new generation for a brighter future. With your support, we can help build not just a school, but a sanctuary of peace and possibility for these deserving children.
