Kakuma Refugee Camp
Located in the northwestern region of Kenya, the Kakuma Refugee Camp remains home to approximately 188,794 refugees. Since its establishment in 1992, Kakuma has provided life-saving resources, shelter, and protection for those fleeing disaster and conflict across the region.
Adult Education
Education Refuge prioritizes sustainable learning in the Kakuma Refugee Camp through an emphasis on community-led education. The Adult Education Program, or “Project Kakuma,” is facilitated by residential operators who ensure access to education for underserved residents within the camp. Our teachers are refugees themselves who understand the educational needs and goals of students.
Our support is continuously adapted to reflect the needs, realities, and goals identified by our teachers and students living in Kakuma. Three key areas of ongoing support include:
Classroom Supplies
Teacher Resources and Support
Addressing Other Needs that Impact Learning
“Education is an ornament in prosperity and a refuge in adversity”
