Program Details

With Aryan's generous support, we were able to build a fully functional ICT lab and develop a self-learning curriculum. This curriculum teaches students how to navigate the vast learning resources available online, helping them acquire marketable skills and even start their own income-generating ventures.
However, the project is now at risk. Recent funding cuts from international donors and partner NGOs have significantly impacted our students, many of whom have lost their small jobs or incentives. As a result, they can no longer afford even the modest contributions we ask to sustain basic services like electricity and internet.
We are seeking a compassionate volunteer or donor who can either directly support or fundraise for this life-changing project. Your contribution will ensure continued access to digital education and help restore hope for dozens of aspiring youth who depend on EduTech to change their future.

Activities & Shift

The volunteer may world and assist remotely but if he/she decide to work in-person, they are welcome in Kakuma refugee camp. Per day they will be working 4 hours and 20 hours per week from Monday to Friday.
