The EduTech Refuge Project was launched in 2024 through a meaningful collaboration between Action for Peace and Development (formerly PDRI) and Aryan Garg, a dedicated scholar from Vanderbilt University (USA). This transformative initiative aims to empower refugee youth in Kakuma Refugee Camp with essential digital and entrepreneurial skills.
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.
