Kakuma Youth: Build Futures with Digital Skills

As a refugee-led organization, we provide a Fit-for-Purpose Program that meets the fundamental needs of our community members. Initiated in 2019, the program has already positively impacted the lives of over 3,450 refugees, resulting in numerous job placement opportunities and online opportunities. The vision is to build a competitive and productive refugee community by 2030, and the mission is to advocate and break the cycle of poverty by transforming 4,500 refugees into a knowledge-based economy driven by both digital and soft skills.

The organization is addressing unemployment in displaced communities in the Kakuma refugee camp and Kalobeyei settlement camp in Kenya.
